In the ongoing Indian Premier League ( IPL) edition on Friday, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni looked into the reasons behind his side ‘s battle, following a 10-wicket loss against Mumbai Indians. After being sent in to bat, CSK was reduced at one point to 43/7, finally posting a paltry total of 114/9. The middle order was revealed too early by the cheap dismissals of openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis and the players yielded their wickets meekly. “Even when you are hurting you put a smile on your face so that the management doesn’t look like they are in panic,” Dhoni said at the post-match presentation.
