An emotionally distraught Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad didn't have much explanation to offer after a third straight defeat as he took the blame on himself. CSK lost to RCB by 43 after Tim David wreaked havoc and the visiting team's top order was blown away quickly by Jacob Duffy.

"If I would have contributed more, maybe it could have been different. It (the loss) was definitely on me today," he said. "We still had the game in our hands till the 13-14th over [of the bowling innings], but let momentum slip after it," he added.
