SCOREKEEPER | TABLE OF POINTS | ACCESSORIES
Badly in need of a win, CSK posted a 20-run win while defending 167 runs against the Sunrisers, with nearly every player contributing. With this victory, they moved to sixth place in the points table.
CSK came up with a different game plan and it worked for them.
“Ultimately, what really matters is that you get two points. What the T20s have shown is that there are some games that don’t go your way and then there are some that go your way even when you haven’t earned them. Today. I felt we did a really good job even hitting, “Dhoni said after the game.
“There was some purpose with the bat and the hitters assessed the situation very well. With a total like 160 (167/6), it all depends on where you start in the first six overs. The fast pitchers did the job, the spinners did the job. they came into play and it was a game that was very close to being perfect, “he added.
Among many changed tactics, CSK asked young Sam Curran to open the innings and Dhoni said it made sense.
“Sam Curran is a complete cricketer for us. You need a fast all-terrain bowler. He plays spinners well and can give us those 15-45 runs … We use an extra spinner because an Indian batsman won’t get us It was good. So Curran raised and it wasn’t fair for Jagadeesan to hit seven or eight. ”

Dhoni quickly ended the quota of pacemaker Deepak Chahar, who played in tandem with Curran; and he was extremely satisfied with his show.
“There are some two-beat balls, some swing and some don’t, some get an extra bounce. What was needed was a good execution of the plans and that was done by the fast players.
“It’s always nice to have a good southpaw on the side. You keep wondering if the ball would go in or leave the batter. As the tournament progresses, we’ll get more comfortable with death bowling, which is why we keep Sam walked away from death and Thakur and Bravo took over. We will improve. ”

Losing boss David Warner said the wicket was on the slower side and they needed an extra hitter.
“We try to dig deep. You have a big limit, so it’s not easy. We have to go back to the drawing board and work on some areas. I thought 160 (target of 168) was the correct total to go after, but anything above that was always going to be difficult ”, said the Australian.
“We need to monitor the grounds in the upcoming games and select the team accordingly. I think with our team and the depth that we have, we are always going to be short in any way.
“Things (on the points table) are always congested in the middle. You have to beat the best teams to get to the top,” he said looking forward.
