Vijay Shankar top-scored with 69, but it was too late as DC bowlers dominated the game. This is the second time CSK's fortress was breached after they lost to RCB earlier this season.

CSK Captain Revealed His Team's Main Problem

CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad pointed out his team's lack of runs in the powerplay has been a matter of concern. As quoted by the ESPN Cricinfo, he said, Not today, since the last three games, it's not really going our way. We're trying our level best in all three departments. I think powerplay is definitely a concern for us - in batting and bowling department. We've spotted that since the second game. We're trying but it's just not happening. I just think that we are over concerned or tentative about who's coming on to bowl in the powerplay... we're losing a wicket in the first or second over. We're just over concerned about things in the powerplay."

CSK will now face Punjab Kings while Delhi Capitals will take on RCB on April 10.
