On Sunday, former two-time champion Chennai Super Kings registered a narrow four-run win over former champion Sunrisers Hyderabad in Hyderabad. Chennai Super Kings move to top of the points table in IPL. Chennai managed to defend their lowest total this season (182), courtesy some tight bowling by Chennai Super Kings speedster Deepak Chahar who returned with figures of 3/15 in his four overs. Bowling, till now in the current edition of the tournament has been difficult. But Chennai skipper MS Dhoni feels that as the tournament progresses, big runs will be hard to come in future.
MS Dhoni said in post-match interaction “Wickets have gone better. If you compare it to the first few editions of the IPL, these wickets are very good batting surfaces. Fans also need to give credit to the batsmen as they’re getting stronger day by day. They’re making plans as to which bowler bowls what. As we get into the knockout stages, we’ll see the bowlers coming up with new plans and it won’t be easy for the batsmen to score the kind of runs they’re scoring so far,” he said in the post-match interaction. In the match, Sunriser Hyderabad had staged a dramatic comeback. After being 71/4 at one stage, they managed to take the game till the last ball, where six runs were needed and Dwayne Bravo saves the day for Chennai.
