Player of the Match
CSK's Ruturaj Gaikwad is the Player of the Match for his 75 from 44 balls. This is also Gaikwad's highest IPL score.
Ruturaj Gaikwad: My highest IPL score means a lot. I am a little bit disappointed couldn't finish it well. Think it was a little bit two-paced, a little bit low-bounced. Scoring big shots was difficult. It was all about how you hit gaps and hit over the fielders. Just planned who is the better bowler on this surface, who is not. One or two bowlers had a bit of an off day, cashed in on them. Just want to keep performing each and every match.
MS Dhoni, CSK captain:The batting was superb. But that doesn't mean the bowling was not good. It was a surprisingly good wicket. Whenever we come to Delhi we never expect a wicket like this. It was coming on nicely, there was nothing for the spinners as well.The good thing was there was no dew. Last night we felt 170 was just below par if there's no dew. Brilliant opening partnership. Addressing the problem. Whenever you start the tournament, you may or may not face issues in playing XI. The earlier you settle the better. Another factor was 5-6 months we were out of cricket. Nothing was allowed. It's not that you could go on your own and practice. That also makes it difficult. Change of quarantine was slightly longer. A lot of factors. Overall if I have to sum it up, the players have taken more responsibility this year.You will be facing adverse things but ultimately it boils down to how each individual rises to the occassion and gives the extra 10 percent for the team. Last 8-10 years we've not changed lot of players so they know our approach. Also we appreciate the players not playing a lot. Only way you can put it forward is having those nice interactions. Just try to have the frame of mind where if you get the opportunity you'll be ready. Keeping the dressing room atmosphere healthy is important. It's not an easy thing. When you're at the top level you want to play. Have to give extra credit to the players who've not played so far.
David Warner, SRH captain:I take full responsibility for the way I batted, it was really slow. The way Manish batted was exceptional. Kane got us to a respectable total, but I take full responsibility. It gets frustratingas a batsman when you find the fielders. We couldn't take powerplay wickets and it's always tough (to come back) on a wicket like this. Their two openers batted really well. You felt like you could squeeze a bit after those wickets. He was going to bat four, that's where he bats, that is his job. It's about being positive. We have a day game here as well,so I think 170 will be a par total. From a batting perspective, we need to find the gaps. The guys will be hurt by this, but they'll be up again.
