Defending champion Chennai Super Kings have kept their hopes of playoff qualification alive with a victory against Delhi Capitals in their last outing. The team has looked in a different rhythm since MS Dhoni was handed the captaincy baton back by Ravindra Jadeja. Making full use of Delhi’s invitation to batting first, Chennai got off to a blistering start as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Convoy posted yet another century opening stand. Convoy anchored the CSK innings with his 49-ball 87 and some last-minute heroes from Dhoni propelled the team to a mammoth 208.

The batters ensured CSK got to a comfortable total and now bowlers needed to win the game for CSK. And they did not disappoint, Delhi Capitals lost both its openers at 36 in the fourth over. While a small partnership between skipper Rishabh Pant and Mitchell Marsh gave some hope to Delhi fans, the batters were soon trapped in Moeen Ali’s spin. Delhi Capitals was eventually bowled out for 117 in the 18th over, suppering a 91-run defeat at the hands of Chennai Super Kings.
