CSK won the toss and opted to field, a decision that would soon be tested by GT’s formidable batting lineup.

“We’ve decided to bowl first. The pitch looks good but slightly sticky, which makes me believe it will be better to chase on this surface.The conditions here are quite similar to what we’ve experienced in the last two games in Chennai, except for one match on red soil which we didn’t favor much.
The atmosphere within the team is quite relaxed. In the IPL, it’s normal to lose several games, but it’s crucial to remain confident and ensure everyone is in a good mental state.We’ve faced some challenges with injuries and flu cases in the squad, but overall, I’m satisfied with how we’ve managed so far. For today’s match, Rachin Ravindra will come in to replace Richard Gleeson.”

Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK Skipper

“I would have preferred to bowl first too. It’s a good wicket and it would have been ideal to know the target and then chase it down. We still have a slim chance of qualifying, about 1%, but as long as there’s a possibility, we’ll give it our all. The team’s mood is like any other match; we believe in doing the best we can.
The surface looks conducive for batting, so I’m confident we can keep them to a manageable score and then put up a good total ourselves. I don’t anticipate any dew, which could work in our favor.We’re making two changes today: Wriddhiman Saha has a niggle and will be replaced by Matthew Wade. Joshua Phillipe misses out due to team dynamics, allowing Kartik Tyagi to make his debut for us.”

” Batting in front of a large crowd definitely makes it easier; there’s a sense of freedom that comes with it. We didn’t set a specific target but aimed to maximize every opportunity presented to us.Our team has great camaraderie. We excel at running between the wickets, hitting gaps, and taking twos. We’ve batted together since last year, which has really built our understanding.
This partnership is arguably the best opening duo GT has had. Mohit has been exceptional over the past few years, both with his bowling and batting. Though he’s had a couple of off games, that happens to everyone. With a few games left, I’m confident we can turn things around.We could have reached 250 today; we were about 10-15 runs short. In the final overs, they bowled well, which affected our net run rate going forward.”

“The pitch for today’s game was slow, which was pretty much anticipated due to the heat affecting it during this day game. In terms of our batting, we started strong in the powerplay but struggled to maintain momentum due to a lack of partnerships in the middle overs.
I was aiming to establish a solid partnership to set up for a strong finish. As for our bowling, our pacers delivered upfront during the powerplay, with Tushar snagging two crucial wickets, and then Mitch and I managed to contain the opposition in the middle overs. Although the pitch appeared flat initially, it became challenging to play as the ball aged and didn’t come onto the bat as expected.
This being a new venue, it was tricky to predict the amount of turn or stoppage. We felt we were short by about 15-20 runs, but thankfully, our disciplined bowling in the powerplay and middle overs kept us in the game. My role as a batter is to anchor and build innings, looking to accelerate towards the end. However, when we lose early wickets, it’s challenging to regain momentum, which is critical in matches that we eventually win.”

Ravindra Jadeja, CSK

The match between PBKS and CSK was a display of cricket at its finest.

CSK’s ability to put up a fighting total and defend it successfully showcased their balanced team strength and strategic prowess.

Sam Curran, PBKS Skipper

” We would have bowled as well, but we weren’t exactly sure. Dew plays a factor so it is tough defending, but the fact that we won by 78 runs shows a lot about the team, but we’ll be missing Pathirana’s services and also Tushar Deshpande misses out today.
Pathirana has a slight niggle and Deshpande is not well. We will look to put up a good total. so We have got Shardul in his place and Richard Gleeson makes his debut.”

To be honest, I don’t think wickets, my aim is only to bowl lots of dot balls and dot balls create the wickets.

Chennai Super Kings won the toss and decided to Bowl first.

“Good toss to win, looks quite humid, We will field first. We have confidence within the camp. We have lost by a few runs margin but it hasn’t dented our confidence at all. We have had some forced changes so far. KKR are playing good brand of cricket but we would like to focus on ourselves, do simple things right and concentrate on the process. Pathirana is not available while Deepak has a niggle. So we have Shardul Thakur back and Mustafizur is back as well.”

Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK Skipper

“We would’ve bowled first as well. The approach and attitude of the team have impressed me. The way we have adapted and played fearless cricket is awesome to see. Past is past and whatever has happened is history. That was completely different. The team has also changed. Now our character will decide how we play here. If we complicate, we will struggle. Our focus is on being in the present. We are going in with the Same team.”
