Clarke also believes that T20 cricket hasn't changed too much that CSK won't be able to cope up and team needs to be given respect for their five trophies.
Sunil Gavaskar also urged the misfiring Rohit Sharma to be a bit more selective about his shot-making.
Tilak Verma, who has two T20I hundreds for India and is one of the pillars of the core MI set-up, had scored just 25 off 23 balls, inclusive of two boundaries, when Mitchell Santner, with a career IPL strike-rate of 106, was sent in.
