Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals registered their first victory in the tournament as they defeated Chennai Super Kings in the match which was played yesterday at Dr. Y.S. Rajashekar Reddy ACA-VDCA International Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam.
DC posted a total of 191/5 on the scoreboard with the help of the fifties scored by David Warner and Rishabh Pant and then their bowlers restricted CSK at the score of 171/6 and made their team win the match by 20 runs. However, this defeat didn’t hurt CSK fans much because they got to see the aggressive batting of MS Dhoni. Thala remained not out at the score of 37 runs for which he played only 16 deliveries and his innings included 4 fours and 3 sixes.
Talking about MS Dhoni’s cameo, the head coach of CSK Stephen Fleming stated, “It was beautiful wasn’t it. He has been playing incredibly well pre-season. He is coming back from quite a serious injury. His batting has been superb. It gave us a positive vibe towards the end of a tough day.”
This is the first defeat that CSK has tasted in this season, Fleming further said, “To get within 20 (runs of the target) run rate wise is important and he knows that. The way he played was spectacular. The result today is a fair reflection of the team’s play tonight. We were a little bit off tonight, we were slow at start in the first six overs of each innings. We gave away too many runs in the first six when we bowled.”
Did you watch that innings of MS Dhoni?
