Thanks for joining us. Hope you enjoyed our company. Look forward to a double-header Sunday.
"Lovely when you have a bunch of young bowlers coming up with their plans," says Ishan Kishan. "Looking at them [Praful, Sakib, Shivang], look at them getting better day by day at training, you have to trust them. I felt we were 30-40 short, need to be a lot better in our shot selection. Not looking at points table, need to keep our head down, we'll take it one match at a time and see how it goes."
Eshan Malinga is Player of the Match for his 3/29.
Ruturaj Gaikwad: "Looking at how their powerplay went, I was looking at 220-230. To pull it back by 30, I would have taken it any day under 200. It was just about 80 runs needed in 10 overs in the chase. From there it was just about building a couple of partnerships. We scored just four runs in the next two overs after the 10-over mark. Chasing 12-13 at the death is going to be difficult. It's been three successive games that the bowling unit has been doing really well. Even the powerplay today I thought Abhishek played brilliantly. I think everyone did a good job with the ball. Anshul is working really on his bowling, especially the death bowling. Very rarely you get bowlers who have clarity and tell the captain that I know what to do, this is what I am going to do."
Nitish Reddy: Everyone did a good job, it's a team effort. I was thinking of bowling according to the situation and to use the fields. The pitch was good, fast bowlers did well. Good to bat on, we executed well. We got message from outside to bowl on top of off, not try too much. Shivang has been bowling really well, hope he continues.
11.32pm It's been a night of lessons for Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, but they'll be delighted at the manner in which they've bounced back to close the game out as SRH jump to No. 4 on the points table. CSK were on track to chase this down, but the wickets of Sarfaraz and Brewis in quick succession turned things around. After that, neither Dube nor Overton managed to get any momentum.

Umair: "I don't see much comments about Malinga. As a Sri Lankan it's so heartening to see how he has taken responsibility and delivered for SRH consistently this season."
