Execution of our bowlers was poor: MS Dhoni

Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni stated his bowlers must pull up their socks after a “poor” outing towards Delhi Capitals of their IPL opener right here on Saturday.
Chasing 189 for victory, DC romped to a seven-wicket victory with eight balls to spare after Shikhar Dhawan (85) and Prithvi Shaw (72) struck blistering half-centuries.
“We may have bowled barely higher, and if batters are hitting you over the fields, that’s honest sufficient.
“The execution of the bowlers was poor and there were boundary balls that they bowled, but the bowlers will have learned and they will apply that in the future games,” Dhoni stated on the post-match press convention.
DC’s new skipper Rishabh Pant received the toss opted to bowl within the sport and Dhoni stated the dew issue performed of their minds.
“So much relied on dew, and that issue performed on our thoughts from the beginning and that’s why we needed to get as many runs as potential.
The batters did a superb job to achieve 188, as a result of it was cheesy till dew settled in 50 minutes later. The opposition have half an hour benefit in a 7:30 begin, when the pitch is absolutely cheesy and the ball stops a bit, so we have to get 15-20 runs additional to be sage.
“If we get dew consistently, then 200 will be a must on a pitch like this. The bowlers bowled a great line when it was stopping and seaming a bit, and the openers got really good balls in which they got out and that can happen in a game like this,” Dhoni stated.
Earlier, Suresh Raina introduced his IPL comeback with a blazing 36-ball 54 and powered his crew to a strong 188 for seven.
Sam Curran smashed 34 off solely 15 balls to prop up the CSK innings in direction of the tip. Curran hit 4 fours and two sixes.
