Kamboj struggled to contain Mitchell Marsh, who struck four straight sixes off him in a single over as part of a blistering 90 off 38 balls. In the end, Kamboj conceded 63 runs in 2.4 overs, and LSG chased down CSK\u2019s 188 target in just 16.4 overs to win by seven wickets, dealing a serious blow to CSK\u2019s playoff momentum.<\/p>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Rayudu said CSK did not have enough senior, game-controlling voices to guide Kamboj during his toughest phase.<\/li>\n<li>Mitchell Marsh\u2019s four consecutive sixes in one over played a major role in turning the contest against CSK.<\/li>\n<li>Kamboj finished with figures of 63 runs conceded in 2.4 overs despite the high-pressure context.<\/li>\n<li>LSG successfully chased 188 in 16.4 overs and won by seven wickets.<\/li>\n<li>Rayudu believed wicketkeeper Sanju Samson was positioned too far to influence the situation effectively.<\/li>\n<li>Rayudu still defended Kamboj, arguing the young pacer faced two batters in exceptional form.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Rayudu on what CSK missed on the field<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking on ESPNcricinfo\u2019s TimeOut show, Rayudu felt that when you look at the CSK group at the venue, there weren\u2019t many \u201csmart\u201d or seasoned heads who could calmly intervene and help a bowler reset mentally. He used the idea of a quick, reassuring pause\u2014someone stepping in to slow everything down for a few seconds\u2014so the bowler can regain control of his rhythm and execution.<\/p>\n<p>Rayudu also argued that Sanju Samson, the wicketkeeper, was not close enough to the immediate action to make the kind of impact needed during that spell. In his view, someone should have disrupted Kamboj\u2019s thought process before the situation escalated further.<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate the point, Rayudu suggested that a timely conversation could have altered the bowler\u2019s mindset\u2014prompting him to consider options like using a slower delivery or reverting to a yorker plan\u2014before he got carried away by the moment. The emphasis, he said, should be on preventing the bowler from getting \u201clost\u201d as the pressure rises.<\/p>\n<h2>Defence of Kamboj and analysis of the batting surge<\/h2>\n<p>Despite acknowledging the expense, Rayudu defended Kamboj\u2019s overall performance and insisted the outcome was largely shaped by encountering batters who were simply in outstanding form. He compared the day\u2019s struggles to the randomness of a bad outing\u2014like registering a duck or a golden duck\u2014while noting that, aside from one delivery late in the over that went down the leg side, most of Kamboj\u2019s balls were still decent.<\/p>\n<p>Rayudu\u2019s central point was that the real story was the quality of the hitting: he described the batting as \u201cincredible,\u201d underlining that the bowler\u2019s process was not entirely flawed\u2014rather, Marsh\u2019s burst made it look that way.<\/p>\n<h2>What happened earlier: CSK set 187\/5<\/h2>\n<p>Before LSG\u2019s chase, CSK posted 187\/5. Their total was built on Kartik Sharma\u2019s 71 and an unbeaten 32 from Shivam Dube. However, the match swung decisively when Marsh and Josh Inglis produced a 135-run opening partnership, taking control early and leaving CSK with a steep task. Rayudu highlighted that this stand not only overturned CSK\u2019s advantage but also significantly damaged their playoff chances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ambati Rayudu has
