He felt the wicket offered a moving target: the surface altered sharply after the first seven or eight overs.<\/p>\n<p>Gaikwad described how the conditions affected play: \u201cIt started spinning a bit, it started stopping a bit.\u201d With that shift, CSK adjusted expectations during the innings\u2014from plans of 220 or 210 to the belief that anything in the range of 190 or 180 could be competitive.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the bowling strategy then became the priority, particularly securing a strong powerplay phase with the ball.<\/p>\n<h2>Gaikwad on form and the team covering for him<\/h2>\n<p>Gaikwad also addressed his lean run of form earlier in the season, noting he had managed only 63 runs across five games before this match. He said the relief of being on the winning side helped him mentally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, firstly, I think, good to be on winning side after a long time,\u201d he said. Gaikwad felt his struggles had been creeping into his batting mindset, but after the previous match he felt more settled. \u201cAfter the last game, I felt a bit relaxed\u2026 I\u2019m feeling really good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized that his focus is on doing whatever the team needs in the moment\u2014adding that he believes a major innings is close. \u201cJust make sure that do whatever the team needs, whatever the situation needs,\u201d Gaikwad said, adding that he expects to contribute when required, with support from the rest of the squad: \u201cAnd I feel even mentally, I\u2019m feeling really well, feeling positive\u2026 but as long as the other guys are just covering up for me definitely I\u2019ll do it when it\u2019s needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Noor Ahmad explains how he handled the conditions<\/h2>\n<p>CSK\u2019s victory was shaped by Noor Ahmad, who returned 3\/21 and picked up key wickets during KKR\u2019s chase. He said managing the conditions was central to his performance.<\/p>\n<p>Noor pointed out the environment in the match: \u201cThe dew was there, and it was humid, so (I was trying to) keep my fingers dry and that helped me a lot to hit the right areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also noted that the ball wasn\u2019t coming onto the bat smoothly, which offered an opportunity to create pressure. \u201cI think the ball was not coming really well to the bat and to get advantage of that, it was good.\u201d Noor concluded by saying he would continue working to contribute in the upcoming fixtures.<\/p>\n<h2>Rahane on restricted scoring and KKR\u2019s batting momentum<\/h2>\n<p>KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane said the bowlers did their job by restricting CSK, but the batters failed to build momentum. He felt that the target of 190 was achievable on that wicket, particularly during the powerplay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo real momentum with the bat, absolutely,\u201d Rahane said. He added that CSK\u2019s total of 190 was \u201creally good,\u201d especially when considering the powerplay, where the scoring reached \u201c70 odd runs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rahane praised the bowling unit\u2019s ability to keep CSK from going too far after that phase, saying they managed to pull things back to 190. He also reflected on KKR\u2019s own powerplay output, stating that the side produced only about 36 or 37 runs in that period.<\/p>\n<h2>Staying positive after five defeats<\/h2>\n<p>Rahane stressed the importance of remaining upbeat despite KKR\u2019s tough run, with the team having suffered five losses. \u201cIt\u2019s tough at the moment,\u201d he said. \u201cYes, we\u2019re not winning matches, it\u2019s tough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He urged the group to stay mentally strong: \u201cWhat is important for all of us as a group is to stay positive, keep our head up, keep our chin up, just focus on the moment.\u201d He repeated the same message succinctly: \u201cIt\u2019s all about being positive and keep our heads up.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Tyagi\u2019s pace and Samson dismissal<\/h2>\n<p>Rahane also discussed pacer Kartik Tyagi, who bowled at 148.2 kmph and dismissed Sanju Samson for 48. Rahane said Tyagi is working hard in the nets, calling him a talented bowler whose pace and skill are improving steadily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is working really hard in the nets. He is been bowling really good and a great talent. The pace which he\u2019s bowling at the moment has been amazing. Game by game, he is improving his skills,\u201d Rahane said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad felt the side is \u201ccoming together
