CSK's confidence in big games helped us: Du Plessis
May 11 (CRICKETNMORE) Faf du Plessis may have been in excellent form throughout the Indian Premier League (IPL) season but his opening stands with Shane Watson were dwindling in recent games due to the dry run that the latter has been experiencing. However, the pair broke the rut on Friday, putting up 81 runs as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) succesfully chased down a target of 148 set by Delhi Capitals (DC) to reach a record eighth final in 10 years.
"We spoke about it before the game - didn't have the best run in the last 5-6 games," said man of the match Du Plessis in the post-match presentation ceremony. "We have a lot of confidence as a team to win a lot of big games - so we draw confidence from that. We also know the strength of ours is getting those partnerships - even if we go 3-4 overs without runs, we have a great lower and middle order to bring us back.
