IPL 2021 - DC (190/3) beats CSK (188/7) by 7 wickets

Chennai need some pace in their line up. This is pedestrian stuff with all similar bowlers
 
Pathetic CSK will end this season at the bottom of the table. Such a mediocre side now...

Dhoni, the leech has tainted his legacy with his unending clinginess.

Dude thinks it is still 2011 and still plays only spinners/trundlers/oldies.

Problem is most of there players are past prime now , Dhoni hiding in the lower order , it makes no sense.
 
Chennai’s bowling lineup reminds me of India’s bowling lineup of 2012-2016ish. Dhoni has a thing for trundlers.
 
"Cut 50% of contract money!"- CSK fans furious as Jadeja ends Suresh Raina's fairytale

Suresh Raina's sensational comeback to the IPL has met with an unfortunate end as Ravindra Jadeja sold him down the river during Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) game against the Delhi Capitals (DC).

Jadeja tucked the ball behind square leg and called Raina for a second after completing the first run quickly. Raina responded to his partner's call, but unluckily, Jadeja clashed at the non-striker's end with the bowler Avesh Khan.

Realizing that the second run was not on, Ravindra Jadeja, at the very last moment, sent Raina back. But it was too late as the 34-year-old was way short of his crease.

This is not the first time such an incident has happened involving Jadeja. The southpaw also ran Hardik Pandya out in a similar way during India's 2017 Champions Trophy final against Pakistan. It proved to be a crucial moment in that game and so could this run-out be in the ongoing contest.

CSK fans were certainly not happy with the way Jadeja refused to sacrifice his wicket and let another set batsman bear the brunt of his wrong call. Nevertheless, they also hailed Suresh Raina for his brilliant fifty.

Suresh Raina's return was always going to be an emotional one for many CSK fans as they missed him dearly last year. CSK finished outside the playoffs spots for the first time in their history and wanted 'Mr. IPL' back as soon as possible.

The 34-year-old did take a bit of time to get his eye in. But once he was set, Suresh Raina looked at his vintage best. His knock of 54 showed exactly what CSK were lacking last year and has shown great promise for the rest of the IPL 2021 season.

Understandable from the fans, Raina was in superb touch.
Jadeja should have watched.

Shaw was sublime ... such an amazing talent and a treat to watch. Given his domestic form, he is sure to perform well in IPL and should be a shoe in for world T20
 
I´m quite impressed with the batting options that Chennai have stacked up this time around, as they can all bat right down to the number 11 batsman - at least the 11 guys who played yesterday. However, their bowling is a major worry. It´s a very, very, toothless bowling attack, mind you. Playing Imran Tahir to have at least one capable bowler in the line-up is a must.

Having said that, 189 on that surface, in those playing conditions most ideal for batting, was never going to be defended, regardless of the bowling attack. 210 was required, but such a big score was almost taken out of the equation owing to the poor start that they had. Still, Raina and other middle and lower-order batsmen tried hard to get a competitive total.

Sam Curran taking his brother Tom for 23 runs in an over was pure fun to watch. Family rivalry, eh? :msd
