Chennai Super Kings on top of the IPL points table

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been in stunning form in the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). After losing their opening encounter against the Delhi Capitals (DC) side, the MS Dhoni-led franchise has stormed back and has won 4 games in a row.

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) also stopped the winning streak of the Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) side on 25th April 2021. In a totally one-sided clash, the Chennai side crushed the Bangalore outfit by a margin of 69 runs to occupy the top position in the IPL points table.

Ravindra Jadeja was the man who tilted the match in favor of the Chennai side. Not only did Jadeja score 62* at a strike rate of 221.43 with the bat, but he also picked up 3 wickets to put the brakes on the RCB side as well. And needless to say, Jadeja walked away with the Player of the Match award for his performance.

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will next take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) side on 28th April 2021. On the other hand, the Royal Challengers Bangalore outfit will lock horns against Delhi Capitals (DC) on 27th April 2021 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
