🏏 IPL 2024 ~ Match N49 CSK vs PBKS at Chepauk @7.30 PM IST🏏 - Page 63

routine chase for Punjab Kings. They were helped by a hamstrung CSK bowling line-up and the dew factor, but take no credit away from those batters. Prabhsimran provided a breezy start before becoming Richard Gleeson's first IPL victim. Rilee Rossouw came in and started off with two quick boundaries, as PBKS ended the powerplay at a little over 50. They kept the momentum going against the spinners, as the first two overs post the powerplay went for 21 runs. Shivam Dube however halted proceedings as he struck with just his second ball on the season. Shardul then gave CSK a wicket off a low full toss, as Rossouw chopped one back onto his stumps. However, the chase was never in threat despite the wickets, and Shashank Singh and Sam Curran helped the visitors get past the finish line, perhaps a couple of overs delayed than expected

Yeah our 2 main bowlers didnt play.. fir Deepak bhi off the field.. upar se itna low score to defend.. shuru se hi everything was against us.. not to forget Rutu's worst captaincy..

Score fir bhi jaisi pitch thi thik tha kyunki Punjab ko bhi utne banaane mein 17 over lag gaye woh bhi itna dew aane ke baad, dew is the main culprit for me

Batting mein second last over kharaab gaya humaara warna 175+ kuch score rehta toh it was defendable

Thoda bohot mistakes toh hua hai par 3 main bowlers ke bina itna tak bhi match lekar aaye woh bhi bohot achha kiya bowlers ne

Ruturaj Gaikwad | CSK captain - Probably 50-60 runs short, the pitch wasn't great when we batted, it got better later on. With the impact rule as well, we were well short. I've practiced the tosses (during the practice sessions), it's not going well in the match, not sure what to do. To be truthful, I'm under pressure when I go to the middle (for the toss). We were also surprised that we won by a big margin in the last match considering the conditions (win by 78 runs against SRH). I think the last two games, the conditions and pitch was better, it allowed us to fight hard and get to 200+, today, it wasn't good enough to get to even 180. It's a real problem (on the player missing due to injuries and Chahal walking away in the first over), there are phases where you want wickets, but you have only two bowlers, the dew took the spinners out of the equation. It was tough, but there're four games left and we will try and come back to winning ways

Rilee Rossouw: Got to give credit to the bowlers, 160 on this wicket was chaseable. The way Jonny played today, hopefully he takes this form forward and gives us the foundation to chase it down. The spin twins as we call them, there's another one who is sitting on the bench, he wants to come in. They did the job for us today. [on plans when he was out there with Bairstow] See the ball and hit the ball, nothing really spoken about as to how many we need, just keeping it simple. [on his dismissal] Unfortunate. It was one of those things, so focussed on hitting the ball and one of those things, I missed out. It's never over, till it's over, we have still got the belief in the changeroom, we will focus on our game and not on the others. Hopefully things work out.

We are at 4th only

Kal RR vs SRH match hai.. if RR wins no effect on us but if SRH wins we will slip to 5th

Isliye yeh match jitna zaruri tha kyunki now our qualification chances will be greatly affected by other team performances

SRH kuch sikho PBKS se

Khair ye toh khud ki previous match se bhi nahi sikhte

Dil dukhta hai yaar aisa laachaari dekh kar

But ye dew factor hai toh timing change

But broadcasters and viewership will be hampered
