Csk doesn't have that big player. No any agression.. Not even have top foreign player. But they are wining. team effort always bigger than having few star player in team.

A comfortable win to maintain their position in the top two. Shivam Dube and MS Dhoni's innings is the difference in this match. And good bowling by the team.

Talking about the entire action of the match, CSK batters made a collective effort as Shivam Duba and Devon Conway scored 25 and 24 runs respectively alongside 23 and 21 runs each by Ambati Rayudu and Ravindra Jadeja. Other than all these efforts, wicketkeeper-skipper MS Dhoni also scored 20 runs off just 9 balls with a boundary and two sixes to his name. On the back of these efforts, CSK managed to score 167 runs for the loss of eight wickets in the allotted 20 overs.
Mitchell Marsh and Axar Patel scalped 3 and 2 wickets respectively for DC alongside one wicket each claimed by Khaleel Ahmed, Kuldeep Yadav, and Lalit Yadav.
While chasing the target, the Delhi Capitals’ batting lineup choked again CSK’s bowling and they could score only 140 runs for the loss of eight wickets in the entire 20 overs. It was only the middle order batter Rilee Rossouw who played a struggling knock and scored 35 runs with two boundaries and six off 37 balls.
Eventually, the hosts won the match by 27 runs to keep their winning momentum in the tournament.
