The first match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) saw Chennai Super Kings bundling out Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for just 70 runs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday.
While both CSK skipper MS Dhoni and his RCB counterpart Virat Kohli said that the pitch wasn't how they had expected it to be, former Australia and CSK opener Matthew Hayden called it below standard. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has now asked the IPL franchises to prepare sporting wickets for the rest of the tournament.
