So, that brings an end to the coverage from me, Karthik Raj and my co-commentator, Akshay Bhide. Stay tuned for the live commentary for the remaining matches in this IPL
Ravindra Jadeja | MoM: Very happy to contribute with both bat and ball. I was backing myself and I was only looking to see the ball and hit the ball without pre-planning. The wicket looks on the slower side so I was just looking to bowl into the stumps rather than give them room. It is a difficult wicket for batsmen. I take great pleasure in my fielding, and whenever I field, I always look for a good run-out or a catch for the team.
Ravindra Jadeja has been awarded the 'Man of the Match' award for his all-round performance today. He followed up a 10-ball 25 with the important wicket of Jonny Bairstow.
MS Dhoni: Ultimately what really matters is you getting two points. What T20s have shown is that there are a few games that don't go your way and then there are some that go your way even when you haven't earned it. Today I felt we did a very good job even in the batting. There was some purpose with the bat and the batsmen assessed the situation very well. With a total like 160, it all depends on the start you get in the first six overs. The fast bowlers did the job, the spinners came into play and it was one game that was as close to being perfect. It was a par score and I usually assess scores after the first six overs. If there are misfields in the first six overs then a par score becomes an under par score. A lot depended on the fast bowlers. I just told them to be expressive on the field and hit their areas. There are some two paced balls, some swing and some don't swing, some get extra bounce. What was needed was good execution of the plans and that was done by the fast bowlers. To an extent yes (these pitches). But we used an extra spinner because an Indian batter hasn't done well for us. That's why Sam Curran went up and it wasn't fair on Jagadeesan as well to bat at seven or eight. Sam Curran is a complete cricketer for us. You need a seamin all-rounder, he plays the spinners well and he can give us those 15-45 runs. A good left armer is always good to have in the side. You keep wondering whether the ball would come in or leave the batsman. As the tournament progresses we'll get more comfortable with the death bowling, which is why we kept Sam away from the death and Thakur and Bravo took over. We'll get better. We need to think more about the process, the points table will take care of itself. We need to still see where the errors were in this game and what is important is to not brush anything under the carpet just because we won the game.
Comments from the skipper David Warner: The wicket was on the slower side, I think we needed an extra batter. We tried to take it deep. You got one big boundary, so it's not easy. We have to go back to the drawing board and work on few areas. I thought 160 was the right total to go after, but anything above that was always going to be difficult. Having 6-7 bowlers in the team helps. It's difficult to play against bowlers who can swing the ball. There's always a challenge in the powerplay, but you have to take on the bowlers. We need to monitor the wickets in the upcoming games and select the team accordingly. Things (in the points table) are always congested in the middle. You got to beat the best teams, to make it to the top. We'll be facing the top teams in the next few days, so I'm up for the challenge and so are the other guys.
Although Priyam Garg and Vijay Shankar came up with useful little knocks, Kane Williamson was left to fight a lone battle with him bringing up a first fifty of the season off 36 balls. The equation only got tougher with three overs to go as SRH required 46 runs. The Kiwi skipper started the over well with a boundary but he got dismissed of the very next delivery. Just when it looked like that was it for SRH, Rashid Khan and Shahbaz Nadeem came up with some boundaries to reduce the equation to 27 off 12 balls. However, Shardul Thakur held his nerve and bowled some superb yorkers. Eventually, Rashid also got hit-out in the same over. With six balls to go, Dwayne Bravo had as many as 22 runs in the pocket and the confidence was visible as he rounded off the match with some cracking yorkers.
So, CSK stay alive in the competition by posting their third win here. A loss wouldn't have ruled them out of the play-offs but it would made life difficult for them. CSK were on point for most of this 168-run defense. Sam Curran struck an early blow by dismissing David Warner who looked scratchy throughout his short knock. Quickly, Manish Pandey was back in the hunt after misjudging a run as Dwayne Bravo came up with a brilliant run-out to put SRH in trouble. The duo of Jonny Bairstow and Kane Williamson looked to build a partnership but the former was eventually dismissed by an accurate Ravindra Jadeja off the penultimate delivery of the 10th over.
