IPL tournament is wide open: Albie

Chennai, April 24: They might be struggling after back-to-back defeats but Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Albie Morkel today said his team is still not in a do-or-die position and the IPL tournament is wide open.

The 29-year-old South African, however, said they have to sharpen their fielding and revealed that a few players, including skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, were carrying niggles, but assured there was nothing to worry.

“I don’t see it as a do or die situation. If we win one or two games, we will be at the top or somewhere near it. The tournament is wide open,” Albie said on the eve of their IPL match against Pune Warriors tomorrow.

“Presently, Mumbai Indians is the form team. But we have been preparing hard and the intensity level is quite high. We hope we can hit the right notes by winning a couple of matches.
