In reply, although CSK did not lose many wickets initially, it was some fine and economical bowling from the DC bowlers, especially the spinners, that mounted pressure on the batsmen. As the required run-rate started escalating, the batsmen got desperate to score. But, they were unable to find a proper solution to tackle the DC bowlers.
