It is one of the most convincing wins for us in the history of IPL: MS Dhoni: After their massive 97 run victory over Kings XI Punjab last night, Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni lauded his team’s efforts and referred the win as one of their most convincing wins in the history of IPL. He also gave full credits to the openers for setting up an ideal platform to launch in the final overs. He also appreciated his spinners for doing a fine job.
In the post-match conference, Dhoni said I think it is one of the most convincing wins for us throughout the history of IPL. The spinners did really well. A very good effort from everyone, including the batsmen. Once you get going in the first few overs, it is the ideal platform for the middle-order. They (McCullum and Smith) back their strengths and they do it really well. They play the right kind of shots and they have done all the basics right.
On the other hand, Kings XI skipper George Bailey gave full credits to the hosts and was not impressed by the way his team performed. He also hopes that his team puts this loss behind them and put up a better show in the remaining matches.
Full credit to CSK, they smothered us and outplayed us in all three facets of the game. We made things pretty difficult for ourselves and you need to do better when you’re playing against a formidable batting line-up like that of CSK. We haven’t put a complete game together yet. We need to put the bad stuff behind us and move on. We need to get a bit of momentum and cash in on that. You want your senior players to stand up. It will be nice to put this loss behind us and put up a better performance, Bailey said.
With this win, Chennai go to the top of the table while Kings XI still languishes in the bottom half. Chennai face Kolkata Knight Riders in Chennai on Tuesday.
