IPL 2021: It is enjoyable when you don’t do so well and still win, says MS Dhoni on CSK’s win over KKR

However,
captain
MS
Dhoni
conceded
that
his
team
did
not
play
well
enough
but
it
was
“enjoyable”
to
still
end
on
the
winning
side.
With
three
wins
in
as
many
games
since
IPL
resumption,
CSK
have
assured
themselves
of
a
play-offs
berth.

“It’s
a
nice
victory
to
have.
At
times
you
play
good
cricket
and
you
lose.
It
is
enjoyable
when
you
don’t
do
so
well
and
still
win.
It
was
good
cricket
from
both
sides,
and
a
pleasure
for
the
spectators,”
said
Dhoni
at
the
post-match
presentation.

Highlights

KKR
made
171/6
and
CSK
chased
down
the
target
off
the
last
ball.
“We
bowled
well
in
patches.
It’s
not
easy
for
the
fast
bowlers.
We
tried
to
give
them
short
spells.
170
was
a
par
score,
I
felt.
When
Jadeja
was
bowling,
it
was
coming
on
and
not
stopping.
The
way
we
started,
KKR
deserve
some
applause
for
making
a
game
out
of
it.

“We
were
also
worried
about
how
the
wicket
will
be.
When
you
keep
playing
on
a
wicket,
groundsmen
sometimes
water
it
more
and
leave
some
more
grass,”
Dhoni
said.
CSK
have
now
won
six
games
in
a
row
in
the
UAE.

“The
important
thing
was
to
make
the
most
of
what
we
had
learnt
and
to
come
back
stronger,”
added
Dhoni.

KKR
skipper
Eoin
Morgan
said
his
team
did
the
best
it
could.
“Both
sides
batted
well.
Both
bowled
really
well.
Can’t
fault
anything
from
our
side.
The
second
half
of
the
tournament
has
been
a
lot
of
positives
for
our
side.
We
just
have
to
give
ourselves
the
best
chance.

“The
whole
tournament
has
an
abundance
of
top-class
international
cricketers.
Some
of
the
local
Indian
guys
haven’t
even
been
capped
yet.
“When
Jadeja
plays
like
that,
similar
to
Sam
Curran
for
England,
I
don’t
think
there’s
a
lot
to
do,”
he
said.
