CSK captain Jadeja heaps praises on Rayudu and reveals reason of losing match against Punjab Kings!

CSK captain Jadeja explains his defeat against Punjab Kings.

The 38th league match of the IPL series was played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai yesterday. The Jadeja-led Chennai Super Kings clashed with the Mayank Agarwal-led Punjab Kings. CSK won the toss and elected to bowl.

Batting first, Punjab scored 187 for 4 in 20 overs. Shikhar Dhawan top scored with 88 and Bhanuka Rajapaksa with 42. For CSK, Bravo took 2 wickets and Theekshana took 1 wicket.

Batting next, CSK scored only 176 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. So Punjab won by 11 runs. Shikhar Dhawan, the opening batsman of the Punjab Kings team, was awarded the Man of the Match award.

CSK captain Jadeja explains the reason for the failure in this situation. In it, ‘We are not getting good starts in the first six overs, that’s where we are lacking and hopefully we will come back stronger. He (Rayudu) was batting brilliantly, if we could’ve restricted them to under 175 it would’ve been good. We felt we gave away 10-15 runs extra at the end. We did not execute our plans very well."

The 8th Behindwoods Gold Medals Awards will be held this year on May 15 and 22 at the Island Grounds in Chennai from 6pm to 11.30pm. Ticket booking for this is currently underway.
