IPL 2026: ‘Pitch Wasn’t A Belter, We Adapted Quickly,’ Says Akeal Hosein After CSK Beat DC
Despite expectations of a high-scoring surface, Hosein revealed the pitch behaved quite differently, assisting bowlers who adapted early. “Both teams saw the pitch and thought it would have been an absolute belter. Thankfully, we got the opportunity to bowl first and realised it was much more on the slower side and on the lower side as well,” he said in a video released by CSK on X.
CSK’s bowlers made full use of the conditions, with Hosein returning 1-19 and Noor Ahmad picking 2-22 to restrict DC to 155/7. “It’s just about passing on information as quickly as possible and trying to make it as difficult as possible for the batters. For us, it was about staying on the stumps and hitting that good length. Going shorter didn’t really work today,” Hosein added.
