Dhoni, talking on the post-match presentation ceremony, admitted that the goal was fairly above par. The truth is, he felt CSK ended up on the dropping aspect due to what RR did of their first six overs.

“It was quite a bit above par score. The reason was the first six overs, we gave away too many in the first six. At the same time the wicket was best to bat on at that period. Then our bowlers bowled well in the middle overs but even when we were finishing, there were a few edges that went for boundaries and that actually kept adding to the score. If I just go through it, maybe there were at least five or six boundaries with edges and that had a very big impact on the score. I think they got a par-plus score and we were not able to get a good start in the first six overs,” he stated.

Dhoni additionally held particular reward for Royals opener Jaiswal on the finish of the match.

“Yashasvi batted really well, it was important to go after the bowlers and I think he took calculated risks. It felt it was slightly easy with our bowlers because they had to assess as to what is a good length to bowl. As a captain you can tell them initially that you want to be slightly on the shorter side,” he stated.

“But it’s very difficult to calculate as to what is that shorter side. So I felt initially we gave away a few boundaries that were too up (on the fuller side) and then you are doing the catching up work. Still I felt Yashasvi batted very well at the top and in the last few Jurel batted well. (But) I think it was in the first six that took the game away from us,” he asserted.

The defeat noticed CSK drop all the way down to the third spot within the factors desk whereas RR climbed to the No. 1 place.
