Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad admitted that his bowlers failed to live up to expectations in the team’s seven-wicket defeat to Lucknow Super Giants in an IPL match here on Friday, and said the five-time winners will address the shortcomings ahead of their remaining two league games.

“Bowling had an off-day today,” said Gaikwad, adding, “the first challenge is getting to Chennai and make sure we improve on the areas we need to, and then adapt and assess the conditions [in the remaining to league games].”
