“Credit to CSK, they out batted us today. We can’t keep blaming the wickets, we have been getting some of these this season. We lost some games badly and that hurt, we will have to look at these things and come back strongly next season,” said David Warner in the post-match presentation
David Warner had an outing to remember with the bat in the exact fixture against Chennai Super Kings. The veteran Australian batter played an astute 86-run inning against a quality CSK bowling, comprising 7 fours and as many as 5 maximums. Moreover, it remained a day to forget for Ravindra Jadeja – who was hammered for 50 runs in his 4-over quota.
