Captain Gaikwad believes dew eliminated the CSK spinners from the match

After the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lost to the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at home for the first time this season, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said that too much dew had a role in eliminating the defending champions’ “spinners from the game.”

As CSK amassed 210-4, Gaikwad struck an undefeated 108 and Shivam Dube blasted a powerful 27-ball 66, hitting three fours and seven.

But Marcus Stoinis led LSG to victory with an incredible 63-ball 124 not out, which included 13 fours and six maximums. A difficult pill to take. But nice cricket match. LSG performed well on the back end. Though we led the game until the thirteenth or fourteenth over, we must give Stoinis credit. He performed quite well, according to Gaikwad.

Dew had a role to play. I believe there was a significant quantity of dew, which eliminated our spinners from the contest. Without a doubt, we could have dominated the middle part and advanced the game if there hadn’t been any dew. But that’s all part of the experience. There is still plenty to be done in the competition, he said.
