Good to have a win on our side: Dhoni
Dhoni, who swung his marauding blade to assault the LSG bowlers, ended up finishing the game in his unique style, smashing 26* off 11 balls, which included four boundaries and a six. His partnership with Shivam Dube was the key. The CSK captain also mentioned that in tournaments in IPL, it is important to win better in league stages, for having better chances of eventually being the champions.
“It’s good to win a game. When you play a tournament like this, you want to win games. Unfortunately, the [earlier] matches didn’t go our way for whatever reason. There can be lots of reasons. It’s good to have a win on our side. Gives confidence to the whole team and helps us improve in areas we want to improve. We all knew that when it doesn’t come your way in cricket, God makes it very tough, and it was a tough game,” winning captain and Player of the Match Dhoni said at the post-match presentation.
“If you see the powerplay, whether it was the combination or the conditions, we were struggling with the ball. And then we weren’t able to get the start we wanted as a batting unit. Also the fall of wickets. We keep losing wickets at the wrong time to some extent. One of the reasons could be that the Chennai wicket is slightly on the slower side. When we have played away from home, the batting unit has done slightly better,” Dhoni added.
