<p>After guiding Chennai Super Kings to a crushing 86-run win over Delhi Daredevils with his majestic century, Murali Vijay said they are "geared up" to defend their IPL title against Kolkata Knight Riders.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Vijay became the only Indian batsman to score two IPL centuries when he hammered 113 runs against Delhi yesterday. he had scored a hundred in the 2010 edition also.<br />"Every team can beat the other on a given day. So we need to be wary and cannot take things lightly. The only thing I can tell you is that we are geared up for the match," Vijay said.<br /><br />Vijay said he thoroughly enjoyed his knock but does not wish to compare it with any other effort.<br /><br />"I just went in and started striking the ball. I always go there with wanting to win the match. It's a great feeling to contribute for the team. I don't want to compare this knock with any other, but certainly I had to work hard for it.<br /><br />"It was hot and humid and I had to take a lot of singles and doubles. I enjoyed the innings and I couldn't have asked for more," he said. <br /><br />Vijay said the key was to stay on the crease for long and take on the responsibility to finish the innings.<br /><br />"In T20, every team wants to score as many as runs as possible and put the opposition under pressure. We were lucky. Everything went our way.<br /><br />"After the first strategic time out, I thought it was getting slower. So I thought the new batsman would find it difficult. So I just carried on but never expected to score more than 200. It doesn't happen every day. It was just a one-off day and we were very lucky," he said.<br /><br />KKR spinner Sunil Narine has put up a terrific show so far but Vijay said it was difficult to make a plan for him.<br /><br />"Planning won't work against him. You have to watch the ball and play it accordingly. I want to keep it simple."<br /><br />Asked about Morne Morkel's absence, he said, "Obviously, I can't comment on that. That's their decision. Of course, he is a fantastic bowler."</p>
