Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway’s sensible batting efficiency was nicely complemented by a four-wicket haul from Mukesh Choudhary as Chennai Super Kings notched up a 13-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad on MS Dhoni’s return as a captain.

Gaikwad (99 off 57 balls) and Conway (85 not out off 55) put SRH’s assault to the sword, notching up a scintillating 182-run partnership, the very best opening stand of the season, as CSK posted an imposing 202 for 2 after being invited to bat.

In reply, SRH fell brief, reaching 189 for six in 20 overs regardless of late heroics from Nicholas Pooran (64 not out) and a 47-run innings by skipper Kane Williamson on the high.

“I think it was a good score to defend. It’s one of that coincidences where we got off to a good start and forced the bowlers to bowl the areas where we wanted to hit. The kind of target we got was a very good one. The phase that really worked for us was where the spinners were bowling after 6 overs,” MS Dhoni mentioned on the post-match presentation ceremony.

“We have had quite a few good batting performances, we have given couple of overs that went for 25-26 runs, and even when you score 200, it really comes down to 175-180 in 19 overs. It’s important to try something different as a bowler.,” Dhoni added.

“I always told my bowlers, you may get hit for 4 sixes in an over, but the 2 balls that you save – ultimately in a high-scoring game – those are the 2 deliveries that will help you win the game. Because a lot of bowlers, after getting 3-4 sixes, they will be like let’s get done with it but that one boundary or even instead of sixes if you get hit for 2 fours that will help you in a game. I don’t know if they believe in that theory, but it really works..

“Between me and Jadeja, he knew final season itself that he can be given an opportunity to captain this 12 months. He knew and obtained sufficient time to organize, what’s vital is you need him to guide the facet and I wished that transition to occur.

“In the first 2 games there was information going in towards Jaddu and after that I left it to him to decide which angle to bowl and all that. At the end of the season, you don’t want him to feel as the captaincy was done by someone else and I’m just going for toss. So it was a gradual transition.

“Spoon-feeding would not actually assist captaincy, on the sphere it’s a must to take these essential selections and it’s a must to take accountability for these selections. We don’t want bowlers to be misplaced, with the youthful bowlers, it’s essential be with them and inform them concerning the fields. It’s good to see Mukesh come up, you’ll be able to’t get away with issues at this degree. You want to simply accept shortcomings too which is essential,” Dhoni signed off.
