Gaikwad said after the match, “We finished (the innings) very well, nothing more could have been expected.” But after the powerplay, we could not score runs fast till the 14th-15th over. We lost wickets continuously and scored 10-15 runs less. Batting is a bit difficult but with the impact player rule you get an extra batsman. Later, with dew coming, it seemed that 180-190 runs could have been a good score.
Chennai is at third place in the points table
This was the third defeat of Chennai Super Kings team in 7 matches. This team, which has won 4 matches so far, has maintained its place in the top three in the points table.
