Another failed chase on the day. While KXIP chase unexpected derailed in last few balls. CSK chase never lifted off the ground. They never looked like in the chase.
All of CSK’s weaknesses are coming to fore in full glory this season. Too old, lack pace with the bowling, lack impetuous with the batting, lack energy in the field. Unfortunately age has caught up. Raina is also missed big time, with both bat and ball. They are in grave danger of finishing at the bottom!
Superb effort with the ball from RCB - Morris and Washington Sundar were the key bowlers.
RCB have rarely emerged victorious in Southern derby matches, and this win will certainly be a major boost for the players.
Virat Kohli - Man of the Match for his stupendous knock of 90* off 52 deliveries.
The CSK captain says that batting is the issue and it’s there for everyone to see. “Too many holes in the ship. When we plug one hole, there’s water leaking from another part”. That sums up CSK’s season so far. Dhoni also calls for more ‘power’ in batting particularly around the 6th over mark. He said CSK will look to attack more in the coming games, rather than taking it deep with wickets in hand.
Hope Team CSK buckle up and make it to the play offs. I am sure Dhoni wouldn’t want to settle to anything less post his retirement announcement.
