Priyam Garg: I felt very good in there, because it's a big stage with senior players. I wasn't thinking too much, just playing my natural game. I think the best thing is the team management backed me after I failed in the first game. The plan was to play my shots and their bowling helped. I've batted with Abhishek throughout my childhood so it was easy. There's a positive energy in the field too after such an innings. My self-belief has grown too after such an innings.
Player of the Match
SRH's Priyam Garg is the Player of the Match. The young batsman hit 51 of 26 balls. His inning changed the course of the match.
David Warner: I backed him (Samad) - I had no option. We tried to kill the game in the 19th over. Could have given it to Abhishek, but Samad with his height had to bowl the last one. This was a little better as compared to the last one. It was quite challenging, it's good to see swing up front. It's my message to the youngsters, to go out their and score some runs. These guys assessed the conditions and played well, so really really proud of them. These guys really work hard, they execute their yorkers, they excute their slower ones. These are the rewards we are getting, and hopefully we get the momentum going forward.
MS Dhoni: I was not able to middle a lot of balls. Was trying to hit it too hard. Looking at the boundarylines it was happening to me subconsciously. Normally, you would want to time it. Tried to get as much as time as possible. Long time back we lost three in a row. We need to take our catches not bowl no-balls. We have been a bit too relaxed at times. We had two good overs but overall we could have been slightly better at the death. At this level, we need to draw a line and say these catches cannot be dropped. It is very important to be at your best. There are plenty of positives in this game and we will try to come back better.

CSK Playing XI
Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Faf du Plessis, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni(w/c), Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Shardul Thakur, Piyush Chawla, Deepak Chahar
SRH Playing XI
David Warner(c), Jonny Bairstow(w), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Abdul Samad, Abhishek Sharma, Priyam Garg, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, K Khaleel Ahmed, T Natarajan
MS Dhoni: Hopefully the wicket won't slow down much. We got time at a very important juncture and it will also help us reflect what we need to change in batting and bowling. Momentum when it comes to batting is one of the key aspects. The length has been crucial and experience really plays in. Vijay, Ruturaj and Hazlewood make way for Rayudu, Shardul and Bravo.
David Warner: We are gonna have a bat. Looks a nice wicket and we want to put runs on the board. We are a good side at defending and if all goes to plan, hopefully we can defend it.
Toss

Pitch Report

David Warner, Kane Williamson, Faf du Plessis, Manish Pandey, MS Dhoni (wk/c), Abdul Samad, Piyush Chawla, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natrajan, Deepak Chahar
Impact player for SRH
T Natarajan: He nailed DC in the death overs with pinpoint yorkers. He has been one of the few bowlers this season who has been able to contain runs at the death. SRH need him to repeat the effort against CSK.
Impact player for CSK
Faf du Plessis: He is the best CSK batsman at the moment. He needs to keep that form going. With 173 runs, du Plessis is third on the list of top run-getters. CSK need him to stay the course.
SRH Threats: SRH haven't found their best combination or delivered a memorable performance that stands out. They are right now at the back of the line for play-off probables.
SRH Opportunities: Kane Williamson has made a good start. If SRH want to go far, they need Williamson to play all the matches and score big runs. Two years ago, Williamson finished as the season's top run-scorer with 735 runs.
SRH Weaknesses: Rashid Khan seems to be getting into his groove but he's not his usual menacing self. SRH don't have enough overseas slots for everyone they need in the playing XI. A genuine all-rounder like Mohammad Nabi cannot be accommodated for most matches. They also need to find quality spin support for Rashid.
SRH Strengths: The batting looks much stronger with Kane Williamson. Jonny Bairstow, David Warner, Manish Pandey and Williamson as the top four have fixed some of SRH's middle-order problems. The NZ skipper on his first game back scored a brisk 41, which which was a vital part of SRH's good total against DC. SRH should stick with Williamson and rotate others if needed.
The SWOT for SRH
CSK Threats: Every match is important as all of the teams are closely matched this year. CSK need to rack up some points in the next four matches to give themselves a good chance of making the play-offs.
CSK Opportunities: Imran Tahir needs some game time. He finished with 26 wickets last season. With the team not in the best of form, Tahir needs a chance to turn things around.
CSK Weaknesses: Poor batting. Ambati Rayudu's injury absence has left Faf du Plessis as the lone CSK warrior. Openers Murali Vijay and Shane Watson have looked rusty and MS Dhoni has been reluctant to move higher in the order. Newcomer Ruturaj Gaikwad is is still finding his feet. And Ravindra Jadeja's bowling has seemed lacking so far.
CSK Strengths: Bowling is showing promise but needs to get better. Josh Hazlewood bowled a decent spell against DC. Deepak Chahar has three wickets so far. Leg spinner Piyush Chawla and all-rounder Sam Curran got wickets in all three matches. They just need to improve in consistency.
