IPL 2023 CSK vs DC: Chennai Super Kings set a target of 168 runs for Delhi

The Delhi Capitals (DC) restricted Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to a score of 167 runs on Wednesday during the 55th match of the TATA IPL 2023. Axar Patel led the bowling attack for DC and the batters of CSK couldn’t showcase their class today with no major performance except some explosive shots by the skipper MS Dhoni.

CSK started slow with Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad playing cautiously taking their time. Axar Patel bowled beautifully during the fifth over and Devon Conway was gone. Soon, Axar Patel again struck and the other opener Ruturaj Gaikwad followed his partner to the pavilion.

Moeen Ali came with a mindset of stabilizing the innings and tried a partnership with Ajinkya Rahane, but Kuldeep Yadav didn’t like the idea and dismissed Ali for 7. After 10 overs the CSK innings was at 66/3, their lowest at this stage in the season.

Shivam Dube played some explosive shots and eased off some pressure with back-to-back boundaries, but Mitchell Marsh enticed the young batter, and skipper David Warner grabbed his catch. Ambati Rayudu and Ravindra Jadeja played some safe shots and slowly picked up the speed of the innings.

Khaleel Ahmad took out Ambati Rayudu, but no CSK fan was sad as this meant the legend MS Dhoni will walk on crease now. MS Dhoni played a small innings of 9 balls but smashed 20 runs with the help of two sixes and one four.

At the end of the first innings, CSK was at 167/8.
