DC have picked up the important wicket of Ajinkya Rahane and CSK now in real trouble. Looks like CSK will register first defeat of this season today as they need 79 runs in 30 balls. Good batting from Shaw, Warner and Pant that helped DC in giving a massive target of 191 runs. CSK some extraordinary knock from anyone of the batsmen to avoid there first defeat of the season.

Chennai Super Kings will taste their first defeat of Indian Premier League 2024 against Delhi Capitals. Chennai Super Kings currently need 41 runs from 2 balls to win against Delhi Capitals which is totally impossible. The bowlers of Chennai Super Kings bowled brilliantly in the previous two matches which made it very easy for Chennai Super Kings to win the previous two matches. But today, Delhi Capitals batsmen especially Rishabh Pant were very tough on the bowlers of Chennai Super Kings. Chennai Super Kings' bowling lineup today was in disarray, with every bowler in their team scoring huge runs, especially Deepak Chahar's Mustafizur Rahman and Ravindra Jadeja. If these three bowlers could have bowled well today, Chennai Super Kings could have stopped Delhi Capitals within less runs. A defeat in today's match could see Chennai Super Kings drop a few notches from the top of the points table.

Chennai definitely lost today because of Rachin Ravindra's innings, and I see no chance of denying that.

The pitch was completely batting friendly. And a target of 192 runs is not unusual on this pitch. A target of 192 runs was possible for Chennai to win on this pitch, if the top order batsmen were able to bat a bit better. But Rachn Ravbindra batted like a fool. At the same time, the captain Raturaj Gaikwad returned to the dressing room after collecting only 1 run. Shivam DUbe on the other hand scored only 18 runs off 17 balls at the crucial moment of the match. Dube could not bat at a good strike rate. Watching the batting of Chennai batsmen today, I felt they had no desire to win the match.
