Ruturaj Gaikwad : Chennai captain Ruduraj Gaekwad said that the next match in Chennai team is difficult for us.
Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans clashed in an IPL match held at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on May 10. Batting first in this match, the Gujarat team played aggressively and scored 231 runs at the end of 20 overs and set a big target of 232 for the Chennai team.
Chennai Super Kings, who came next with a target of 232, scored 196 runs for the loss of 8 wickets at the end of 20 overs. Due to this, Gujarat won by 35 runs. After the match, Chennai captain Ruduraj Gaekwad spoke about the reason for the defeat. Speaking about this, he said, “I think we gave away 10 to 15 runs too much in this match.
I think our fielding was a bit sloppy when Gujarat batted. Even though we implemented all the plans we discussed before the match, their batsmen played well. Such a big target came because we had set the openers of the Gujarat team. We could not control them.
After this match we are going to play our next match at Chennai Stadium which is a bit difficult. After this match, the next match comes very quickly without even a break. That and all the next matches are very important for us. All the matches to be played in Chennai will be difficult for us.
So, let’s plan and work well on how to overcome all those difficulties and play properly,” said Ruduraj Gaikwad. It is also worth noting that on May 12, the Chennai team will face the Rajasthan Royals at the Chepauk Stadium.
