If we make playoffs great but if we don’t it’s not the end of the world, says Dhoni

TIL Desk Sports/ After a massive win over Delhi Capitals, Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that he wants to take one game at a time and is not worried about his team’s playoff qualifications, adding that even if they fail in that pursuit, it won’t be the “end of the world”.

An excellent half-century from Devon Conway (87 off 49) followed by a brilliant bowling effort by Moeen Ali (3/13) led Chennai Super Kings to a convincing 91-run win over Delhi Capitals in the 55th match of the IPL 2022 at the DY Patil Stadium on Sunday.

It was CSK’s fourth win in the ongoing IPL season and they moved to eighth spot, going above KKR on net run rate. The win also kept CSK alive for playoff contention, even though their chances depend on a lot of other results going their way plus they have to win their remaining three games.

“I am not a big fan of math. Even in school I wasn’t good at it. Thinking of the NRR doesn’t help. You just want to enjoy the IPL,” said Dhoni at the post-match presentation. “When two other teams are playing, you don’t want to be under pressure and thinking. You just have to think about what to do in the next game. If we make the playoffs, great. But even if we don’t it’s not the end of the world,” he added.
