 DHONI REASONS FOR DEFEAT OF CSK

Chennai captain MS Dhoni says that we are losing due to the absence of Ambati Rayudu. He noted that the team’s balance was being damaged by his absence. Dheema expressed that everything will be fine if he becomes available for the next match. Mahi spoke after the ghastly defeat at the hands of Delhi.

Batting first, Delhi scored 175 for 3 in a match played in Dubai. Prithvisha (64; 43 balls 9 × 4, 1 × 6), Dhawan (35; 27 balls 3 × 4, 1 × 6), Rishabh Pant (37 *; 25 balls 5 × 4), Shreyas Iyer (26; 22 balls) 1 × 4) added. Chennai did not get off to a good start. Both openers were bowled out for 34 runs. Dhoni (15; 2 × 4 off 12 balls) also did not run. Duplessis (43; 4 × 4 off 35 balls) was the lone batsman. With that, Mahisena was limited to 131/7.

‘We have lost the last two matches due to the absence of Ambati Rayudu. There is no balance in the batting order. This is not a good match for us. The wicket‌ slowed down despite the lack of moisture. The transplant in the batting‌ section is hurting us. The lack of an aggressive start is increasing the pressure along with the runrate. We have to get into the ring with a clear goal and composition. If Rayudu comes in the next match, the team balance will improve. If that happens then we can experiment with an extra bowler, ”said Dhoni. Rayudu, who hit 71 off 48 balls in the first match against Mumbai, was injured.
