Defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are still in the hunt for their maiden win in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The ‘Men in Yellow’ have had their worst start this season and have lost all the three matches so far.
After suffering three successive defeats, CSK have dropped down to the eighth spot in the 10-team tournament. Despite its poor performance, CSK skipper Ravindra Jadeja feels that one win will give them the ‘momentum’ to return to winning ways in the new season.
CSK are desperately eyeing their first win on Saturday in a clash with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday. Coincidentally, both CSK and Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are also looking for their first win of IPL 2022. The two teams have faced off 16 times in the competition so far, with Chennai winning 12 matches and SRK four.
“In T20 cricket it’s a matter of one match. If you win one match the momentum comes your way. One win will put us on the right track and give us the rhythm because all our players are so experienced that you don’t need to tell anyone anything because everyone knows their game. We are working hard towards that,” Jadeja said ahead of the match.
He added, “CSK is everything. It’s a family. CSK is like my home now. I’ve been a part of the team for 10 years. I don’t see myself playing for some other team from now.”
