Chennai Super Kings could not have asked for better, when Captain Dhoni made a change on Saturday, in adding a brand new bowler in their team – Shadab Bashir Jakati, as the youngster restricted the Delhi Dare Devils’ batsmen from running away with a win. He took the precious 4 wickets of David Warner (51), T.M. Dilshan (13), Dinesh Karthik (52) and Pradeep Sangwan (0) giving away just 24 runs. These batsmen almost made it to a win, chasing the defendable total of 164, but were dismissed at crucial times. Another CSK new bowler Sudeep Tyagi accounted for the dangerous Gowtham Gambir and AB deVilliers to go back to the pavilion with 13 and 0 runs respectively.
Delhi Dare Devils won the toss and put CSK to bat first, who used the opportunity to best advantage. Mathew Hyden (30), Murali Vijai (14), Suresh Raina (32), Badrinath (45) and S.B. Jakati (13) – all of them contributed well with their bats, to push up the score to a defendable 164 at the end of 20 overs. In chasing this score, Delhi team without their Captain Shewag, rested for an injury, made good efforts. Special mention should be made about the new Australian batsman David Warner, who showed signs of wonderful batting in making 51 runs in the very first match.
S.B. Jakati for his fine performance with the ball was adjudged as the Man of the Match.
