The team’s desperation for a victory was evident in their strategic decisions, including the return of Mohammed Shami to the playing XI, who immediately made an impact with a wicket off the first ball.
Team Strategies
“We gonna have a bowl first. Chennai is always a big game, coming off a couple of loses but it is a new venue and boys are up for it. If the wicket is good, backing them to get a big total and otherwise also, backing them to do well. The pitch looks a little bit dry.”
– Pat Cummins, SRH Captain
CSK’s Response
Chennai’s Perspective
“Dew was the main reason why we also wanted to bowl first… We want to get the process right and that is what we are looking to aim for the rest of the games. We are looking at one game at a time and we are looking at few combinations.”
– MS Dhoni, CSK Captain
CSK made strategic changes to their lineup, with Brevis and Hooda coming in to replace Rachin and Shankar, as they too looked to address their recent form concerns.
Match Impact
The dropped catch and Kavya Maran’s subsequent reaction not only became a talking point on social media but also highlighted the passionate involvement of team owners in the IPL.
