‘If we don’t qualify it’s not end of world,’ says captain MS Dhoni

Chennai Super Kings could have had a “perfect game” against Delhi Capitals yet captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni would rather not lose his sleep over play-off qualifications as he feels that regardless of whether they bomb in that pursuit, it will not be “end of the world.”

CSK beat Delhi Capitals by 91 runs and moved to the eighth position in the league table and will currently have to dominate three matches and rely upon different outcomes to make it as fourth spot contestants in the end of the season games.

“If we make the playoffs, great. But even if we don’t it’s not the end of the world. I am not a big fan of maths. Even in school, I wasn’t good at it. Thinking of the net run-rate doesn’t help.” Dhoni said.

“You just want to enjoy the IPL. 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,” he said.

Although, he conceded that the cricket they are playing currently might have been played a couple of game prior.

“It would have been better if we would have had a win like this somewhere early. It was a perfect game.”
