IPL 2026: 'Bowling Had An Off-day Today,' Says CSK Skipper Gaikwad
Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad admitted that Chennai Super Kings endured an “off-day” with the ball after their seven-wicket defeat to Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow on Friday, but insisted the five-time champions still remain firmly in the hunt for an IPL 2026 playoff berth.
CSK find themselves in a precarious position of having 12 points from 12 matches. They are already in must-win territory for the remainder of their league encounters and have to be dependent on other results going their way as well. Having already been knocked out,LSG gaveChennai a major setback with a ruthless chase that was piloted by the duo of Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis. Taking lessons from this loss, Gaikwad admitted that the bowlers could not stick to the plans consistently.
“Bowling had an off-day today,” Gaikwad said after the match. "The first challenge is getting to Chennai and make sure we improve on the areas we need to improve, and then adapt and assess the conditions [in the remaining two league games].”
