IPL 2019: Chennai Register Comfortable Victory to Maintain Perfect Start

A calculative effort with both the ball and the bat gave Chennai Super Kings a victory on Tuesday (March 26th) with a six-wicket win over Delhi Capital on the slightly dinged Feroz Shah Kotla surface.

To bat, Shikhar Dhawan scored 51 runs in 47 balls, but Dwayne Bravo took three wickets in a while and restricted Delhi to 147 for 6 in 20 overs. In response, Chennai claimed their second win in several matches in 19.4 overs.

Seamers of Chennai - Deepak Chahar (1 for 20 runs) and Shardul Thakur - Prithvi Shaw (16 balls 24) got a simple chance of bowling directly, but it is still not enough to stop the 19-year-old right-hander. Was there. Shaw drove his Statemate Thakur with three squares in different parts of the ground, before that he started with a bridge towards Deep square leg.

Just when it seemed that it could be his night, Shawl pulled out of the ball and gave Shane Watson a simple catch at mid-wicket. MS Dhoni also tried Harbhajan Singh for a few overs in the Powerplay, but he was not as effective in the last game too.

Shikhar Dhawan and Shreyas Iyer both took time to spend time and this gave Dhoni complete quota of Chahar. Once on the field, Ravindra Jadeja and Harbhajan were able to keep the lid at the scoring rate. Aiyar and Dhawan finally opened their shoulders against Imran Tahir, who was beaten by Leggie with a slider before being trapped in front of the stumps, with a maximum of two and four hits.

Hero of the last match of Delhi, Rishbha Pant, coming to number 4, announced to come along with a border towards the cover area. The left-handed batsman continued to throw away his bat on everything and succeeded in capturing Harbhajan and Dwayne Bravo many times. In his first over, he was dismissed by 17 runs, Bravo hit two crucial fours in his next over. Trinidadian first caught Pant with his trademark slow delivery, before catching Colin Ingram for only 2, for 13-ball 25 on the Deep Square leg.

It was Jadeja who looked the best in other spinners and left-handed batsman knocked for zero with a ripper on Chemo Paul and finished his spell (1 wicket for 23 runs). With the wicket falling on the other end, Dhawan played the role of anchor for completeness and made his half-century. However, he failed in the past and became the third victim of Bravo, who offered Thakur a dolly on the dark square leg.


Rahul Tahitia (11 *) and Axer Patel (9 *) made some success in reaching Delhi to a score of 150, but dominated the last five overs, which took four wickets for 29 runs. Run.

Chennai needed a good start with their openers and Shane Watson looked aggressive with the ball. Despite having struggled against Axer Patel in the past, Watson welcomed him with some boundaries, but Ishant Sharma gave Delhi the first breakthrough. Watson, despite attacking the Delhi bowlers, pulled down Ambati Rayudu (5) and offered an unnecessary heel, misbehaving with Iyer only at the mid-off.

Slow things started to warm between Watson and Delhi Pacers. Both Ishant and Kagiso Rabada followed after Watson, but they only accused the big-hit all-rounder. He put a four and a six on Rabada before putting Amit Mishra on two sixes. However, leg-spinner took his revenge and Watson hit 44 off 26 balls, including four fours and three sixes.

By the time Watson left, the run rate had come down from six runs per over, but Suresh Raina did not stop playing his shots. The No. 3 batsman made Ishant very consistent with his intention of playing three balls and with the help of Kedar Jadhav, the scoreboard was well forwarded. Mishra hit the left-handed batsman for 30 runs in 16 balls, but by then the equation had gone on 58 to 50.

The scenario for Jadhav and Dhoni (35-ball 32 *) was tailor-made and both of them concentrated on the two and two to maintain the scoreboard. With the need of 23 in the last four overs, the Axar bowled a magnificent ball to Dhoni and scored only one run. However, Dhoni left some pressure after making 11 runs in the next over.

Aiyar took the brave step of handing over Mishra to the 19th over but Dhoni, who kept quiet, looted one run for the other with one ball on the bowler's head. Jadhav was caught behind 27 but Bravo pushed forward to one by one and proceeded to Chennai.
