Belying their age, his old but sprightly go-getters have so far done an admirable job for Chennai Super Kings, but skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni today admitted that the age-group was "definitely a concern" for the team that is on the cusp of winning its third IPL title.
"The age-group of the boys was definitely a concern, you had to keep them fit. We had to take care of the resources and to make sure that when we come to the business end of the tournament, the best 11 is available for selection," Dhoni said.
The two-time World Cup and IPL-winning captain was speaking on the eve of his team's final against Sunrisers Hyderabad here.
Dhoni added, "This year we have been able to do that. We did have a injury concerns in the middle, but it is good to have all the players available for selection."
"Like in the last game I didn't feel it was necessary for him (Harbhajan) to bowl. But for Bhajji, he is really experienced when it comes to any format of the game."
