However finally losing more wickets same score could've been reached. Star players can't be hero's of the game everytime.

Making the right decisions every once in a while will make them a star. Chennai Super Kings is the only team that is performing beyond my expectation and is lead by retired India player Ms Dhoni and yet every time he makes the right decision this season even though he is yet to perform with the bat and hence they are winning all the time. If you compare their last years performance it is a starking contrast with the way they are playing this season

Chennai Super Kings is winning. That is true, but I am yet to see any real contribution from Mahendra Singh Dhoni. So far has has made 37 runs from 6 matches, and then he dropped an easy catch from Jonny Bairstow yesterday. The changed fortunes of CSK can be attributed mainly to Suresh Raina and the other players and I don't think that Dhoni has played a large part as of yet. For CSK, Deepak Chahar has been in terrific form, and the same can be said about the two openers.

SRH remains at the bottom of the table with just two points. Apart from Rashid Khan, their bowlers have failed. And Natarajan's absence is not helping things either.

Despite having star players like David Warner, Jason Roy, Williamson, Bairstow and Rashid Khan in the squad, SRH's poor performance is very disappointing. Despite having so many devastating and experienced batsmen in the squad, their highest run-score this season is 177 against KKR. And they lost that match too. I don't think Warner can do his job properly as a captain. Otherwise, despite having such good players, they would not have performed so badly.

The performance isn't that bad. The team players tried for the best, fortunately they weren't able to reach the planned score. However 171 isn't a bad score considering its score around 15th over. If Warner had batted aggressive, he might have faced less balls and lost his wicket earlier. However finally losing more wickets same score could've been reached. Star players can't be hero's of the game everytime.

But the issue is with the local players, especially the bowlers. None of the bowlers are able to provide any support for Rashid Khan. That's why the team management is trying different combinations. But right now, none of these bowling combinations are working for them.

It is disappointing to see that they are still struggling to find the right combination, Chennai struggled during the last season and they changed their team by including some players and those changes are making wonders for them as they are now become the most dominating team yet again and leading the rankings table while teams like SRH, KKR, Punjab seems to fail to learn from the mistakes and still struggling to put the right combination of players.

That is what even i was thinking, David Warner is a shell of the players he once was, from a destructive batsman who could change the match by his sole performance he has not done that in the IPL for many season i believe and with T20 specialist players like Jason Roy, Kane Williamson, Bairstow and Rashid Khan they are struggling to win matches which is really disappointing and they need to change things pretty fast if they want to be competitive in the season.

CSK back to the top of the table again with far better run rate who is also having the same 10 points now. This is the vintage CSK team and I watched the entire match which is completely amazed me. Warner the struggling man needs to think about finding the right combination inside their team because only 4 overseas players are performing for SRH and all the others were on the losing cause especially their middle order is very weak. Saha is on the bench for them who can be included in the middle order for better stability who player really some great innings for veruous franchise.

Wriddhiman Saha is not a specialist batsman. Since Jonny Bairstow is a better batsman, he fills that slot. You are right regarding the overseas players of SRH. All of them are in great form. But the issue is with the local players, especially the bowlers. None of the bowlers are able to provide any support for Rashid Khan. That's why the team management is trying different combinations. But right now, none of these bowling combinations are working for them.

CSK now again cruising towards their win to be honest, SRH didn't even took a single wicket while CSK just needs 72 from 54 balls.

Chennai Super Kings are now at second position in the points table, which is an amazing turnaround when compared to their situation during IPL 2020. Now they have 8 points from 5 matches. The Delhi Capitals also have 8 points, but they have played one additional match. For CSK, the next match is going to be against the Mumbai Indians. It is going to be a tough match, but given their momentum, they should be able to perform well. SRH remains at the bottom of the table with just two points.

Rishabh Pant has batted exceptionally well so far in this tournament. But unfortunately, his captaincy is not up to the mark..

As a team, DC is much strong. They have batsmen like Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Hetmayre in their squad, their bowlers are good enough. But as a captain, I didn’t find Rishab Pant experienced enough. And the defeat in yesterday's match is living proof of that. Experienced bowlers must be used in the 18th, 19th, and 20th overs. I think it would have been better if Shikhar Dhawan was the captain

Rahane is not really T20 material and although Hetmeyer produced a really good performance in the last match, he is not in his best form. IMO, Delhi Capitals are struggling due to the absence of Shreyas Iyer. They are still unable to fill the vacuum created due to his absence. Steven Smith is now batting at no.3 for Delhi Capitals, and he is OK as far as performance is concerned, but his strike rate is a bit lower than what is optimal.

DC still manages to stay in a good position at the points table so there is no pressure on them so I don't think there will be any changes in their team unless someone got injured.

No one watching today's match?

CSK now again cruising towards their win to be honest, SRH didn't even took a single wicket while CSK just needs 72 from 54 balls.

Rishabh Pant has batted exceptionally well so far in this tournament. But unfortunately, his captaincy is not up to the mark. First of all he should have bowled out Amit Mishra before the 16th over. If he had done that, then all the 5 main bowlers would have got 4 overs each. But Amit Mishra bowled only 3 overs, and this was the real reason why Stoinis had to bowl the 20th over. Now a spinner can't bowl the 20th over and that was the reason why Stoinis was called up in the first place.

Rishabh Pant is a new captain and give him some time and he will improve as he gains experience, you cannot blame Rishabh Pant alone in a situation where he did not allot the correct bowlers as there is a team management who should convey the options to the captain and everyone failed.

I did not expect SRH to score 171 runs and they have bowlers like Rashid Khan to put pressure on the players and with that on mind i wont be surprised if they are able to defeat Chennai.

CSK vs SRH, playing at a new venue of this season today.

SRH won the toos but surprisingly choose to bat first when the forecast says chance of dew at the second innings. But CSK bowled really well at the moment, after 9 overe SRH scored only 59 for the loss of 1 wicket.

The 18th and 20th overs should have been bowled by Rabada. Making the 20th over with Stoinis is a mistake and a foolish decision. And as a result of this wrong decision, they lost the match. Hetmyer has batted brilliantly, he has done his duty properly. Delhi seems to be a bit weak in the bowling lineup. The captain has to carefully control the bowling lineup.

Pant is the key man if he wants to win this match and its going to be very interesting from now on in my opinion.

Delhi Capitals lost the match by only 1 run! It was an exciting ending there. Pant could be the key man but I think he is responsible for this loss. Seems like he didn't had much confidence to hit boundaries and he gave a lot of dot balls. Hetmyer was the game changer today for Delhi. But luck wasn't on their site.

Delhi Capitals lost the match when they conceded 23 runs during the last over of the Royal Challengers Bangalore innings, that was bowled by Marcus Stoinis. I don't understand why Rishabh Pant went for Stoinis, because Amit Mishra had one over left. It was poor planning from his part, to bowl out the pacers early in the innings. Ideally Kagiso Rabada or Avesh Khan should have bowled the 20th over instead of Stoinis, but they were bowled out early.

Also DC's last over when they were bowling can be a reason as well, it was very exciting to watch but at the end they couldn't make it. Now again RCB is on the top of the table so tomorrow there will be a chance for CSK to grab that position again from RCB if they manage to win against SRH.

When someone takes the responsibility to be a captain then their natural gameplay actually changes a lot, if Pant is not captaining for DC today then I am sure that he can hit more big shots.

We can't take luck into this match, because best players are on the pitch. There is no big wicket loss, in between they missed the run rate which is the reason for the rise in pressure by the end of the game. As there is no big wicket fall they could've maintained the run rate. During the last five overs the performance was really awesome, but something missed. This will be a learning for Delhi Capitals.
