Delhi Capitals (DC) grabbed their first win of the season against the high-flying Chennai Super Kings <\/a>(CSK) in Vizag, beating the defending champions by 20 runs in the IPL 2024.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad blamed their loss on the lack of big overs in their innings, especially after losing early wickets. <\/strong>Delhi batted first and scored 191 runs, with David Warner and skipper Rishabh Pant playing exceptionally well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game took a turn in the second innings when Khaleel Ahmed’s early swing movement troubled CSK’s batsmen, leading to quick dismissals for Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj. <\/strong>CSK tried to recover, but they struggled to get close to the target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batting in the middle was tough for CSK as DC’s pacers stuck to their plans, restricting them to just 171 runs. Former CSK captain MS Dhoni’s quick-fire 37* off 16 balls towards the end gave CSK<\/a><\/strong> some hope, but it wasn’t enough to chase down the target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ruturaj Gaikwad blames the batters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the post-match presentation, Ruturaj Gaikwad mentioned that they missed out on scoring more runs during the middle overs, which could have made a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“At the halfway stage, I felt it was gettable. But after 3-4 overs, there was extravagant seam movement and we were just catching up. We didn\u2019t get big overs of 10 or 15 runs and as a result, we felt short,”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the loss, he remained hopeful for the upcoming matches and commended their bowlers for restricting the opposition to a reasonable total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“After two games, you can expect the third game to go against you . To finish on the losing side by 20 runs, it was about two or three hits and our bowlers also did a decent job.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSK will aim to bounce back in their next game against SunRisers Hyderabad on 5th April in Hyderabad.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
