After winning their third consecutive victory in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 at Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday, skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that if the match against Kolkata Knight Riders had completed 20 overs, it would have been a close match, but the winning team has certainly worked out the strategy. Chennai Super Kings set a challenging target of 221 against Kolkata Knight Riders who were bowled out for 202 in 19.1 overs.
After the match, Dhoni smiled and said, “I think it will be easier for me (as captain) in a match like this because after the 15th to 16th match there will be a fast bowler and a batsman.” The winning team probably executed the strategy well. But if 20 overs were completed it would have been a much closer competition. It is also important to pay homage to the opposition team. Every IPL team has ‘big hitters’. I told the players, they scored well but we have to respect the opposition team as well. ”
When asked if Andre Russell was fueled by strategy, he said “no.” After Rituraj Gaikwad returned to form, Dhoni said Rituraj had done well in the last IPL. This time they are not doing well. But they are doing great. Duplessi, who scored an unbeaten 95, was named ‘Player of the Match’. He said it was a very aggressive innings. I am technically better today. It was just a rhythm. Subject.

Deepak Chahar then bowled brilliantly for the Chennai Super Kings and took the first four wickets. My goal is to bowl consistently with the length of the line, ”he said. The previous season was not good. I’m glad I got four wickets. After the defeat, Kolkata Knight Riders captain Eoin Morgan said the match was full of ups and downs. During the Powerplay we bowled but then bowled a little and Chennai scored 200. Then we had a bad start. But I am happy that our lower middle order has performed well and saved us the match. What everyone has to say about Andre Russell is that when he is in his rhythm, he can be the most dangerous player of the tournament.
