Chennai: Chennai Super Kings have secured their playoff chances by defeating Delhi Capitals at their home ground in Chepauk. The strength of the team was the valuable cameo innings of Shivam Dubey, Rituraj Gaekwad, Ravindra Jadeja and skipper MS Dhoni on a difficult batting pitch. In bowling, Jadeja and Moeen Ali kept the Delhi batting in line.
Jadeja, who shined with the bat and the ball, was the star of yesterday’s match. Jadeja scored 21 runs off 16 balls in batting. In bowling, he conceded only 19 runs in four overs and took one wicket. Jadeja’s comments after receiving the man of the match award are now being discussed.
Commentator Dinesh Karthik’s question was whether he did not want to go down early in the batting order. Jadeja’s reply was: ‘When I bat at number 7, the fans are disappointed. They can be heard cheering for Mahi Bhai (MS Dhoni). In such a situation, imagine if I had come out earlier, they would have been waiting for me to get out. I am happy as long as the team wins.’
Jadeja’s response is about the shouts from the gallery for Dhoni. Chennai fans cheering and cheering when Jadeja gets dismissed in some matches has been a curious sight this time. The shouts of the fans are hoping that Dhoni will arrive right behind.
Dhoni came back in the last overs yesterday and made a valuable contribution to the team. The player faced just nine balls and scored 20 runs with two sixes and a four. Dhoni’s two sixes and a four came in the 19th over bowled by Khalil Ahmed, who was in good form in the match.
