DC vs CSK Turning point of match (Delhi vs Chennai: What was the turning point of the match) Where did things go wrong for CSK, which has won 2 consecutive matches? Actually, it is a bit surprising for Chennai Super Kings to lose with such a great batting lineup. But let us tell you where Chennai made many mistakes and the match went out of their hands. Chennai Super Kings, while chasing the target, had a very bad start which affected the entire match. The team lost 2 wickets in the powerplay and that too the wickets of their opening batsmen. Khalil Ahmed had given the first blow to Chennai Super Kings in the very first over and Ruturaj Gaikwad was out after scoring one run in two balls. After Ruturaj Gaikwad, opener Rachin Ravindra was also caught out cheaply and sent back. Rachin had scored 2 runs in 12 balls before getting out. The openers could not give the team a good start, which Warner and Prithvi Shaw did for Delhi. The batsmen who came after these two had to set themselves at the crease and with this it took some time to increase the pace of runs. If both these batsmen had given starts then perhaps the required run rate in the match would not have increased rapidly and there would have been no pressure on the batsmen to play risky shots. Rahane and Daryl Mitchell tried well to give starts After the fall of the first two wickets, the Rahane-Mitchell pair saved Chennai’s innings. Both of them took the team’s innings to 75 runs after 10 overs. On the second ball of the 11th over, Akshar gave an important wicket to the team and took the match to his camp by breaking the Rahane-Mitchell partnership. Daryl Mitchell scored 34 runs and Rahane scored 45 runs in 30 balls. Even Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s unbeaten inning of 37 runs on 16 balls could not help Chennai Super Kings win and Delhi Capitals won the match by 20 runs. While this is Chennai’s first defeat of the season, it is also Delhi’s first win. Batting first, Delhi gave Chennai a target of 192 runs on the basis of half-centuries from Rishabh Pant and David Warner. In reply, Chennai had a bad start. However, Ajinkya Rahane and Dhoni took the team closer to the target, but could not win.
