Chennai Super Kings scored 188/7 in their 20 overs. CSK like previous season lost their openers too early with the sluggish run-rate making matters worse. Today however, they had their trump card Suresh Raina, who was the missing cog in last year’s event, and his return in yellow filled a gaping hole in the CSK line-up. A 36-ball 54 later bring them in game but back to back wickets keep their run rate down but Jadeja and Sam Curran (who took a special liking to his elder brother’s medium pace), ensured that the Super Kings had momentum at the end, crashing 33 runs in the last 2 overs to lift them to 188. Medium pace, as expected, took a pasting, and Ashwin was taken to the cleaners too, but the slower short ball did some wonders on a surprisingly tacky wicket in Mumbai. Suresh Raina scored 54 of 36 balls and Moeen Ali scored 36 of 24 balls. For DC Chris Woakes picks 2 wickets for 18 runs in his 3 overs.
Chris Woakes bowls a fine 20th over but @ChennaiIPL still get to 188-7. Stay tuned as @DelhiCapitals will soon begin their chase.

Shikhar Dhawan scored 85 runs 54 balls and Prithvi Shaw scored 72 in 38 balls. For CSK Shardul Thakur picks 2 wickets for 53 runs in his 3.4 overs.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : Congratulations to DC for beginning this season with a win. A perfect start for Delhi Capitals in the captaincy of Rishabh Pant. Bowlers were very clinical n power plays and middle overs but conceded runs in death overs but it was all about Shaw and Dhawan show who put an excellent partnership of 138 for the 1st wicket and skipper finish it off with style without any more hiccups. Overall great start for DC.
For CSK bowling and opening is still big concern like previous season. Raina who missed the previous season scored a brilliant half century and given his team a good platform after poor start and good finished by Curran and Jadega. But Kings unable to defend the target and biggest reason was dropped catches by team in crucial time and conceded so many runs in power plays and middle overs. It will be interesting to see how they perform in further games.
