Dubai: The Chennai Super Kings were pushed to the wall, but as champion sides do – they found a way out of that on Sunday against defending champions Mumbai Indians in Dubai. With a 20-run win, CSK went top of the points table and look good to make the playoffs.
After the game, CSK skipper MS Dhoni gave credit where it is due. He lauded young Ruturaj Gaikwad and Dwayne Bravo after the match for their brilliant show with the bat. Dhoni confessed that the two had given them more than what was expected.
“I think at 30/4, you want to get something respectable on the board, and Ruturaj and Bravo got us more than what we expected,” Dhoni said at the post-match presentation. “We had to bat exceptionally to get to 140, but to get to 160 was tremendous.”
