‘Not frustrated at all’: CSK captain Gaikwad feels ‘good to start with lot of mistakes’ after RR drubbing

New Delhi: Despite being thrashed by the Rajasthan Royals in their IPL 2026 opener, Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad does not feel 'frustrated at all'. The five-time champions were catapulted by the Royals at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. CSK were shot out for just 127, and had No.8 Jamie Overton not scored those 43 runs, they could well have been dismissed for below 100. In reply, the Royals hunted down the target in just 12.1 overs and eight wickets in hand, making it their biggest IPL win in terms of balls remaining. Gaikwad reasoned that the sticky conditions…

New Delhi: Chennai Super Kings' all-rounder Jamie Overton shattered an MS Dhoni record despite the team's horror show against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League 2026.

With rain making conditions tacky, CSK batters were caught in choppy waters after being sent in to bat by RR captain Riyan Parag. Nothing seemed to be working their way as they kept losing wickets in a heap. None of the top four,…
