CSK Captain MS Dhoni expressed disappointment in the batting lineup after their defeat cheaply for 97 in a must-win game against the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.
“Irrespective of how the wicket is, anything below 130 is difficult to defend. I asked the bowlers to show a lot of character, put the opposition under pressure and forget about the result,” Dhoni was quoted as saying at the post-match presentation ceremony.
“I feel both the young fast bowlers bowled really well. As far as their contribution is concerned, I feel a game like this really helps them. It’s something that they start believing in themselves. Whenever we start, we need the same kind of attitude and that’s what is needed in the shortest format,” he added.
Final Scores:
CSK – 97 in 20 overs
MI – 103/5 in 14.5 overs
