Indian Premier League 2023: In the 37th league match of the 16th season of IPL, Rajasthan Royals (RR) won a big 32-run victory against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). After this defeat, the Chennai team, which was in the first place in the points table before the match, has now directly reached the third place and the Rajasthan team has regained the first place. Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings got a target of 203 runs in this match, but they managed to reach only 170 runs in 20 overs. After the match, Dhoni told the reason for the defeat.
After the defeat in this match, Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni expressed disappointment in his statement saying that this score was slightly more than expected. At the time of bowling, we gave away more runs in the first 6 overs. At that time it was also easy to bat on this wicket. After this, our bowlers definitely made a comeback in the middle overs, but during that time many such boundaries were lost which should not have been known.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni further said in his statement that the score of 200 was very high on this pitch and we could not succeed in scoring runs in our first 6 overs. I think Pathirana bowled very well in this match and you cannot judge his bowling from the scorecard.
Dhoni praised Yashasvi Jaiswal
In this match, Dhoni also praised the opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal, who played an excellent innings of 77 runs for Rajasthan, and said that he scored brilliantly against us and played big shots taking risks at crucial times. It took us some time to understand this pitch and after that we were just chasing in the match. At the end of Rajasthan’s innings, Jurel showed a much better game.
Sawai Mansingh Stadium has always been special for Dhoni and regarding this, Dhoni said that this is a very special stadium for me. My first ODI century definitely came in Visakhapatnam, but the 183-run innings played here gave a different flight to my career.
