NEW DELHI: Chennai Super Kings' skipper, Ruturaj Gaikwad, attributed their seven-wicket loss to Punjab Kings to the absence of frontline bowlers Matheesha Pathirana and Tushar Deshpande, compounded by significant dew at the Chepauk Stadium.
CSK struggled to post a competitive total, managing only 162/7 despite Gaikwad's impressive 62. The team encountered difficulty facing the accurate spin bowling of Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar.
