Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ko IPL 2025 ke match number 11 mein Rajasthan Royals ke haathon 6 runs se karari haar jhelni padi. Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati mein khele gaye iss match ke baad CSK ke kaptaan Ruturaj Gaikwad ne team ke poor start aur misfielding ko defeat ka main reason bataya.
“Hum achhe start nahi le paa rahe hain, lekin jaise hi ye problem solve hogi, cheezein alag hongi,” Ruturaj ne post-match presentation mein kaha. “Humne 8-10 extra runs sirf misfields se diye, aur ye ek area hai jisme hume improvement chahiye.”
RR ke Nitish Rana ne sirf 36 balls mein dhamakedar 81 runs banaye, jiska sath diya Wanindu Hasaranga ne, jinhone 4 wickets le kar CSK ki batting ko hila diya. Target tha 183 ka, lekin CSK sirf 176/6 tak pahuch payi. Poori innings mein wickets girte rahe, aur Ruturaj ka 63-run ka valiant effort bhi kaafi nahi tha.
CSK ki opening bhi flop rahi — Rachin Ravindra bina khata khole out ho gaye, jabki Rahul Tripathi bhi powerplay ke baad pavilion laut gaye. Pichhla match bhi CSK ne Royal Challengers Bengaluru ke against apne home ground par hara tha, jo ki 17 saalon mein pehli baar hua tha.
“Pichle kuch saalon mein Ajinkya number 3 pe khelte aaye hain aur Rayudu middle overs sambhalte the. Socha Tripathi ko upar bhejein jisse vo aggressive khel sake, aur main baad mein aake situation sambhalun. Auction mein ye decide hua tha aur mujhe isse koi dikkat nahi,” Ruturaj ne haste hue bataya.
CSK ne season ki shuruaat ek badi jeet ke saath ki thi Mumbai Indians ke khilaf, lekin us momentum ko wo maintain nahi kar paaye. Ab unka agla muqabla April 5 ko MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai mein Delhi Capitals ke against hoga. Fans ko ab ek strong comeback ki umeed hai.
