Dew will be vital and it will play a part – Ravindra Jadeja
Chennai Super Kings captain Ravindra Jadeja, during the post-match presentation, said that the dew will play a part throughout the tournament. He said:
“ I think dew will be vital and it will play a part. If you win the toss, you will definitely look to bowl first.”
“In the first six overs, it was damp and in the second half, the ball was coming on. We were looking to drag the game as deep as we can.”
Ravindra Jadeja further added that the veteran all-rounder Dwayne Bravo along with other bowlers bowled very well in the match. However, he was disappointed with the batting performance of the team. Jadeja was also hopeful of better performance in the next game. He asserted:
“Bravo bowled brilliantly and everybody did a good job with the ball. As a batting unit, we didn’t get partnerships. We will try to do better next game.”
