By Sandy Verma

GT vs CSK: A one-sided match was seen between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. Where the Chennai Super Kings team performed very shamefully. After losing the toss, Gujarat Titans team was successful in scoring 229 runs in 20 overs. In response, CSK team was limited to only 140 runs. After the defeat by 89 runs, Rituraj Gaikwad made an excuse in the post match presentation ceremony. Along with this, a big statement has also been given regarding Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Rituraj Gaikwad made an excuse after the defeat

After being restricted to just 140 runs, Rituraj Gaikwad said in the post match presentation ceremony, ‘We wanted to chase the target as soon as possible. When you are chasing 230 runs, it is not easy against this bowling attack. He played a brilliant move, credit goes to him for it. The pitch was a bit spongy in the beginning, they started well. Our bowling was not good in the powerplay. It was difficult to stop their opening batsmen. We had a chance to stop them within 200, but we failed to do so.

Giving the excuse of injury after the defeat, Rituraj Gaikwad said, ‘It has been a difficult season after the hat-trick of defeats. We had found our rhythm, were moving in the right direction, but then injuries hit. With Ghosh and Overton out, our balance got disturbed. In the last three matches we were lacking one batsman or one bowler. There are more than 8 players who have played less than 20 matches, we have come to know in which areas we are lagging behind. Still we won away from home, I am proud of our team. We missed in Hyderabad and could not stop them in Chennai.

Rituraj Gaikwad spoke about young players

CSK team is full of young players. About which Ruturaj Gaikwad said, ‘After moving forward from experienced players like Rahane, Rayudu… we have Karthik, Urvil and Brevis. Karthik has potential, but needs improvement in some areas. Urvil is playing the entire season for the first time and there are expectations associated with it. (About Dhoni) You and I will know about it only next year. His absence is a big loss for us. He can change the course of the match by coming in the last overs and just by staying at the crease. Nothing can ever be said about the next season, but the players we have. I’m really happy with them.
