New Delhi: Keeping true to his no nonsense stance in the current edition of IPL, Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni minced no words and was quick to point out the shortcomings after his side’s unexpected loss to last placed Delhi Daredevils.

Though CSK fell short of their target of 163 runs by 34 runs, Dhoni believed it was CSK’s death bowling that let them down at the Ferozeshah Kotla.

"They need to be mentally ready for this than physically. I think apart from that, we are doing well. If we get our death bowling sorted out, it will be very good. Still have one more game and then into the eliminators (playoffs), so let's see. (On death bowling worries) We'll try to manage it, that's what the reality is," Dhoni said after the game.

"Keep strengthening what your strengths are, at the same time also strengthen your weaknesses. We also want to improve in certain areas," Dhoni added. 

Despite the loss, CSK continue to hold on to the second spot on the IPL table with 16 points.

Admitting that the CSK batsmen should have done better, Dhoni praised the Delhi bowlers for their performance on Friday.

"I think the wicket slightly got more difficult in the second half. I think it was evident, nobody was middling it well in our innings," he said.

"Wicket kept getting slower and slower. Their bowlers also bowled really well," he added.
