The form of CSK skipper came under scanner and turned ugly when Dhoni’s five-year-old daughter was dragged into the matter.

Their coach Stephen Fleming is frustrated that their batting unit is not finding the form despite the bowlers doing a good job. Speaking after the match, he said that he quickly wants a turnaround for his side if they have to make it to the playoffs.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) defeated CSK by 37 runs here at Dubai International Stadium on Saturday. While chasing, no CSK batsmen looked comfortable playing the strokes and the side fell 38-run short of the target.

Eight mobiles phones, one television, Rs 8000 and Rs 3 lakh in accounts have been recovered from them, police said.

Chasing a moderate target of 170, CSK openers failed to provide a solid start as they went back to the pavilion early. Washington Sundar scalped both Faf du Plessis (8) and Shane Watson (14) in fourth and sixth over respectively.

On promoting Kedar Jadhav, he said, “At the time, we thought that Kedar could play the spinner well and dominate, while Jadeja was there to come and finish. But in the end there was too much work to do and we fell short."

CSK were 99 for 1 in 12 overs with Narine backed entirely for the death. The CSK batsmen stumbled against Narine in the latter half of the chase.
