IPL 2021 8th Match: The lions are back, CSK makes it an easy contest to win

The Player of the match:

Rahul Chahar, I think [Agarwal’s first wicket] made me happy. Dream of a ball: a throw in the middle and a hit. It’s fun for the coach. I think this is the ball you dream of – the underdog reaches the top. The first overfishing went to Ruturaj, only Jaddu could receive it.

The winning captain of the match Mahendra Singh Dhoni:

I feel really good and it’s been a really long journey [playing 200 games for CSK]. Started in 2008 – played in SA, Dubai, and at home. I never thought Mumbai would be our home. In 2011 we were delighted with the Chennai entrance for the last time. There used to be looped, but it also helps fast bowlers. After the gate was repaired, it was difficult for us to adapt to the conditions.
