The five-time champions Chennai Super Kings played a total of 7 games in which they won 4 games and lost 3. Defending champions lost their seventh game of the season by eight wickets against Lucknow Super Kings despite scoring 176 runs in 20 overs.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, the captain of CSK, expressed disappointment with his bowlers' performance during the powerplay overs. They will need to work on it because the opening batter believes it to be the team's weakest point. Gaikwad said, “We have failed to take wickets in the powerplay overs and this is one area where we need an improvement. On venues where we are 10 runs short, the only way to win a game is by taking wickets in the powerplay. We will discuss it to rectify the shortcomings before our next match.”
