MS Dhoni's decision to come down the order yet again backfired as Delhi Capitals (DC) rode on Prithvi Shaw's fluent fifty and a disciplined bowling effort to inflict a 44-run defeat on Chennai Super Kings (CSK), their second straight loss in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 in Dubai on Friday. Shaw shared a 94-run opening stand with Shikhar Dhawan to guide Delhi Capitals to 175 for three. While defending, DC made full use of CSK's lacklustre batting performance to register their second consecutive win of the tournament, which took them to the top of the points table. Dhoni did not push himself up the order, given the expectations after his decision to hold himself back in the game against Rajasthan Royals backfired, which meant the veteran again did not have enough time and balls to take his side home. South African Faf du Plessis was the top-scorer with 43 for CSK but his compatriots Kagiso Rabada (3 for 26) and Anrich Nortje (2 for 21) shone with the ball to fashion a memorable win for Delhi Capitals.
