After his side’s win over Delhi Capitals (DC), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad acknowledged the lack of ‘X Factor’ in their bowling, but added that CSK’s discussions were to try being as effective and proactive as possible, which finally paid off as well.

Speaking during the post-match presentation, Gaikwad said, “Feels good to finally get the win. Great performance. Always felt that coming here, we had been batting well. To post 200-210, when the wicket is on the slower side, we were showing good signs. One of those knocks where Sanju took on the opposition, played a magnificent knock. Ayush (Mhatre) also. But today was about the bowling. Taking wickets, bowling aggressive lengths.”

“We do not have that X-Factor in the bowling, but we have been discussing on how to be more effective and more proactive. In the last few games, we were almost there. Some big overs cost us. Bowling-wise, we were on the mark tonight. We were set back in the powerplay but we came back after it,” he further added.

“That is what this side of the country is – wonderful people and loving the franchise,” he concluded.

However, CSK are at the ninth spot, with a win and three losses. DC, meanwhile, are in fourth spot, with two wins and two losses as well.
