Chennai, April 09: His side emerged winner in the thrilling opening match of the IPL season-4 but Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said the contest had a lot to offer even in defeat.
Chennai edged past Kolkata by two runs to start their IPL title defence on a high note here today.
“It was a first game with a new team, and you get a new car and you want to break it in, but you don’t want to ‘break it’. Even if we did not win this game, we would have got a lot out of it,” Dhoni said after the match.
Dhoni, who also led India to World Cup triumph last week, lauded all his bowlers for their effort apart from giving his fielders a pat on their back.
