Morgan added that he doesn’t think that there is a lot to be done if Jadeja plays like that.

A sensational cameo from Ravindra Jadeja (22 off 8 balls) towards the end helped Chennai Super Kings beat Kolkata Knight Riders by two wickets in a last-ball thriller. Morgan said that there has been a lot of positives for Kolkata in the second half of the tournament and both teams batted, bowled well to make this match a thriller.CSK vs KKR: Highlights | Report”Both sides batted well. Both bowled really well. Can’t fault anything from our side. The second half of the tournament has been a lot of positives for our side. We just have to give ourselves the best chance. [On Prasidh for the 19th over] Sunil takes the responsibility. I hope Dre [Russell] is ok,” Eoin Morgan said in the post-match presentation ceremony.Morgan also pointed out that IPL 2021 has an abundance of top-class international cricketers and many young Indian players haven’t even been capped yet.”The whole tournament has an abundance of top-class international cricketers. Some of the local Indian guys haven’t even been capped yet. When Jadeja plays like that, similar to Sam Curran for England, I don’t think there’s a lot to do. [On holding back Varun Chakravarthy] All about matchups. Your bowlers need to bowl well enough to do that,” Morgan added.Chasing a target of 172, CSK top-order batsmen chipped with handy contributions but they wobbled towards the end before Jadeja pulled off the win with an 8-ball 22 which was studded with two fours and as many sixes to help his side reach 172 for 8 in 20 overs.Faf du Plessis (44), Ruturaj Gaikwad (40) and Moeen Ali (32) were the other contributors. Earlier, KKR scored 171 for six after opting to bat. Rahul Tripathi made 45 off 33 balls, while useful contributions also came from Nitish Rana (37 not out) and Dinesh Karthik (26).Click here for our site’s complete coverage of the coronavirus pandemic.
