LOCATION – MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
CSK has won once more at their fortress. Up until the 13th over, when the run rate was at 6.79 r.p.o., DC spinners kept things tight and continued chipping in wickets. In the 14th over from Lalit Yadav, Dube and Rayudu scored 23 runs, tipping the tide in CSK’s direction. The World’s Best Finisher MSD delivered a fantastic cameo of 20 from 9 balls to help CSK reach a respectable total of 167 on a sluggish Chepauk circuit. Before the spinners even entered the game, DC had a disastrous start, losing 3 wickets in the powerplay. Despite Manish Pandey and Rilee Roussouw scoring 59 runs off of 59 balls, the asking rate merely kept rising since the CSK spinners were unable to concede any runs. There was very little room for DC to mount a comeback when they could only muster 44 runs in the middle overs. Final score: CSK won by a fairly comfortable margin of 27 runs.
Player of the Game is Ravindra Jadeja
“It’s a beautiful sight for a spinner when the ball is gripping, turning, and holding in the wicket,” said Ravindra Jadeja. We train here, so we are familiar with the proper length and tempo to bowl at. Time is needed for the visiting team to adjust to the surroundings. Simply put, I’m pleased with how the team is doing.
