Chennai, Mar 15 (PTI) Chennai Super Kings skipper M S Dhoni attributed tonight''s defeat against Deccan Chargers in the Indian Premier League match to the jolts they suffered in the start of the innings. Sri Lankan paceman Chaminda Vaas unsettled Chennai innings by taking three quick wickets. Chennai were chasing a total of 191 but all they could manage was 159 for nine. "When you chase 190, you want a good start but we lost early wickets. And if you lose early wickets, it becomes difficult for other batsmen to chase. "It all depended on the start, that we are capable of getting. Matthew Hayden and Suresh Raina being the big hitters in top of order followed by Justin Kemp and Albie Morkel. We could have got those runs," Dhoni said after the match. Dhoni was not happy with fast bowlers, who were hit round the park in the clash. "In the practice sessions during the last ten days, all the bowlers did well and were accurate. This game, may be the pressure got in to them. Hopefully, they will convert what they are doing in the practice games in the reminder of the matches," he said. He though was satisfied with the show of his spinners and lavished praise on rival batsmen Andrew Symonds and Herschelle Gibbs, who lifted Deccan out of pits with their 95-run stand. More PTI RE AT
