“Sometimes you have to accept that the opposition simply played better cricket”- Ruturaj Gaikwad after CSK’s loss vs LSG in IPL 2026

At the post-match presentation, Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad reflected on the loss, saying

“I felt there was definitely something in the pitch for the fast bowlers, especially when they hit hard lengths consistently. Their bowlers executed those areas really well and made scoring difficult for us. At one stage, we were probably looking at around 160 or 170, so getting to 180 still felt like a decent effort from the batting group. Credit to their batters as well because they played some exceptional shots during the chase.”

He continued:

“Mitchell Marsh is someone who handles the short ball really well, so the plan was more about hitting those test-match lengths and forcing mistakes. There were moments where we executed well, but they also played some outstanding cricket, especially through the opening partnership. Sometimes you have to accept that the opposition simply played better cricket on the day.”
