IPL 2021: CSK players have taken more responsibility, says MS Dhoni after table-topping 5th successive win

IPL 2021: MS Dhoni decoded Chennai Super Kings's turnaround in the ongoing season, saying players have taken extra responsibility after the disappointment of 2020 wherein they failed to make the playoffs for the first time in the history of the tournament.

Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni shed light on his side's consistent run in IPL 2021, saying the players have taken more responsibility after they hammered Sunrisers Hyderabad in Delhi on Wednesday to regain the top spot on the points table. CSK won their fifth straight match of the season, riding on Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis's 129-run stand in their chase of 172 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Chennai Super Kings had a horror run in IPL 2020 as they missed the play-offs spot for the first time in the history of the tournament and eventually finished 7th with just 12 points. However, cut to 2021, MS Dhoni's men are looking unstoppable with as many as 5 wins in just 6 games. A couple more wins will ensure a play-off berth for CSK who have a superior Net Run Rate of +1.475. CSK lost their season opener to Delhi Capitals in Mumbai but they fought back with 4 straight victories. Chennai began their Delhi leg of IPL 2021 with an emphatic 7-wicket win over Sunrisers on Wednesday.
