Another win for at their fortress. spinners kept things tight and kept chipping with wickets until the 13th over when the run rate was just 6.79 r.p.o. Dube and Rayudu smashed 23 runs in the 14th over from Lalit Yadav which tilted the momentum in CSK's favour. A fine cameo of 20 from 9 balls from the World's best Finisher MSD made sure CSK get to a fighting total of 167 on a slow track at Chepauk. In response, DC had a dismal start losing 3 wickets in the powerplay even before spinners came to operate. Manish Pandey and Rilee Roussouw gathered 59 runs from 59 balls but the asking rate just kept increasing as CSK spinners gave nothing away. DC was able to compile only 44 in the middle overs and there was very little scope left to stage a comeback. In the end, it was a very comfortable victory for CSK by 27 runs. 

David Warner, Skipper: "   Losing three wickets in the powerplay is not acceptable. We lost a wicket in the 1st over which has been happening frequently. We understand that our opening combination is crucial but has failed to fire. We lost a wicket to a run-out which did not help the cause either. We threw wickets away not that the bowlers bowled too well. Put too much pressure on ourselves in chasing down a  gettable total. To sum it up, we needed a better powerplay. We couldn't rotate the strike in the middle". 

MSD, Skipper: " It turned more in the second half.  Our spinners use a lot more seam than some of the other bowlers. We did not know what's a par score. That's why I wanted the bowlers to bowl their best deliveries but not look for wickets every delivery. That's when you start not bowling well. I felt 166-170 was a good score. But as a batting unit, we could have done better. The good thing is Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja got a chance to spend time in the middle. As we get closer to the last phase of the tournament, it's important that everybody has a few deliveries under their belt. We need to be happy with our batting."

Ravindra Jadeja is Player of the Match

Ravindra Jadeja : " : Its a beautiful sight for a Spinner when the ball is gripping, turning and holding in the wicket. We practice here, we know the ideal length and pace to bowl at. The visiting team needs time to adapt to the conditions. I am just happy that the team is doing well."
