  1. IPL 2021 :MS Dhoni is my go to man, says Rishabh Pant Delhi Capitals newly-appointed captain Rishabh Pant has said that going for the toss in his first IPL match as captain with Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni as the opponent was certainly a special feeling as he considers Dhoni as his mentor, referring the former India captain as his ‘go-to man’ as wll. “It was very special captaining first match in IPL, and the toss was against MS. I’ve learned a lot from him always. If I have any problem, I go to him. He has been my go to man. So it’s a good feeling,” Pant said after Delhi Capitals beat CSK by seven wickets at the Wankhede stadium. Pant gave the credit to the bowlers for stepping up in the absence of their key bowlers Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada as they could manage to restrict CSK within 188 in 20 overs which later they chased down quite easily on the back of more than 100 runs opening partnership between Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan. “We were thinking as to what we will do without Nortje and Rabada and I thought we had to do with the options we have. No, there was no effort for the NRR as it is still early stages in the tournament. Prithvi and Shikhar did well for us in the powerplay. They kept it simple and played some good cricketing shots,” he added. On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni shared that the lack of execution by his bowlers at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai cost them the game. CSK had posted 188 for 7 but Delhi reachthe targeted with eight balls to spare as CSK’s pacers bowled plenty of boundary balls, giving away 65 runs in the Power Play itself. “A lot depended on dew, and that factor played on our mind from the start,” he said at the post match presentation. “That’s why we wanted to get as many runs as possible. The batters the did a good job to reach 188, because it was tacky until dew settled in 40 to 50 minutes later. We could have bowled slightly better, if batters are hitting you over the fields, that’s fair enough. The execution of the bowlers was poor and there were boundary balls that they bowled. But the bowlers will have learned and they will apply that in the future games.” You can catch Match Prediction, IPL prediction, Live cricket score on Cricadium.
