Ruturaj Gaikwad is the MAN OF THE MATCH, says that it means a lot but he is disappointed that he couldn't finish it off. Adds that the wicket was a bit two-paced. Tells that he planned which bowlers to target and that he cashed in on it. Tells that he wants to perform for his team in each and every match.
Chennai skipper, MS Dhoni says that the batting performance was superb and it was a good wicket and it was coming on nicely but says that does not mean bowling was poor. Adds that there was no dew and 170 was below par. Goes onto say that the opening partnership was brilliant. States that addressing the issues is crucial and identifying them earlier gives security to the teammates. Goes onto say that the change of venue and the quarantine period was longer in the last season. Adds that the players have taken more responsibility this season. Goes onto say that they have not changed a lot of players in the last few years and they appreciate the players who are not playing and the only way they can put it forward is having interactions with them and they try to give them a frame of mind where they know they will play a game.
Hyderabad skipper, David Warner, takes responsibility as he says he batted slow and takes full responsibility for the batting. Credits Manish Pandey and Kane Williamson for the way they batted. Warner says he hit 15 good shots to the fielders and says those are the things that make or break an innings. Warner admits he took too many balls. Warner says they still got to 170 and were unable to take wickets and it was tough to pull it back on such a good surface. Credits Chennai openers for the way they batted and they knew once they set in it was going to be difficult. Warner says Williamson was going to bat at 4 as that is his job in this side. Warner says it is about being positive. Warner says they need to hit gaps from batting perspective. Tells they are a bunch of fighters. Admits they will be hurt but says they will come back stronger.
Faf du Plessis says that being the highest scorer so far feels good but adds winning is important. Tells his partnership with Ruturaj is going well and tells that makes their side's batting more fearful. Faf says he is just looking to do the basics right and says he looked at things he did well last season and improve on the things that did not fall in place. Faf says it was a good wicket and he thought 170 was a touch shorter and tells 190 would have been a good score for them. Tells that it slowed down a bit as the ball got older but says it was a very good wicket to bat. Faf says they have a nice balance. Tells there are 3-4 changes that they can make now. Tells that they have more depth in the squad. Faf jokes he is disappointed as Jadeja is picking all the catches and he is the Superman at the moment. And he is happy to have got a few chances to catch tonight.
Earlier in the evening, Warner and Pandey struggled against a motivated Chennai bowling lineup. The bowlers bowled tight lines and did not give many free runs. But a late blitz by Williamson and Jadhav got them to a respectable total. In the end, the total was not adequate enough for this pitch.
Hyderabad came on to bowl when the pitch had eased out a bit. They needed early wickets but that did not happen. Sandeep Sharma bowled well at the start but didn't pick up the early wickets. Khaleel, Suchith and Kaul were quite expensive. Rashid took 3 big wickets but the damage had already done by the Chennai batters. The target wasn't the biggest and they had a tough time defending it.
Chennai had a dream start as Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad stitched up a century stand in no time. They both were looking to finish the game but Gaikwad fell to Rashid. Moeen Ali came out and played a few big strokes but soon perished to Rashid and du Plessis joined him back in the hut on the very next ball. But in the end, Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja stitched up a 25 run stand to get them over the line. They win this match by 7 wickets.
End of what has been a thumping win for Chennai. They win their 5th match in a row and with this, they move to the top of the table. On the other hand, Hyderabad are in deep trouble now.

Siddarth Kaul To Ruturaj Gaikwad
Full on middle, Gaikwad defends it to the left of mid on. Too close to the fielder and hence Gaikwad says no to Faf's ask for a run.

Siddarth Kaul To Ruturaj Gaikwad
FOUR! Not the welcome Kaul would have wanted! Kaul starts with a good length ball around off, Gaikwad opens the face of the bat in the last minute and places it between keeper and short third man for a boundary. Runs coming easily for Chennai at the minute.
Change. Siddarth Kaul is in the attack now.

Khaleel Ahmed To Ruturaj Gaikwad
Around off, Gaikwad strokes it to sweeper cover and keeps the strike. Another 10 run over from Khaleel. Tough start for him so far. Chennai are off to a very good start.
Is that a run out? The umpire has gone upstairs to confirm it. Faf du Plessis is well inside the crease here.

Khaleel Ahmed To Faf du Plessis
EDGED AND FOUR! Slower ball around off, Faf looks to play it fine to third man. He though is surprised by the lack of pace on it. He gets it where he wanted to but off the edge. It goes away from diving Bairstow and to the third man fence.

Khaleel Ahmed To Faf du Plessis
FOUR! Faf continues his rich vein of form and Khaleel continues to leak runs from the other end. Slightly short and wide, enough for a man in form to punish. Faf du Plessis slams it through point for a boundary.

Dot to finish the over. Tidy start just 5 from it. The last ball is fuller on off, Gaikwad drives it straight to Vijay Shankar at short extra cover.
Who will bowl from the other end? It will be Khaleel Ahmed!
