Moving on - Right then, that is it from this rather one-sided affair, where Chennai Super Kings got the crucial two points while Delhi Capitals left empty-handed. The action now moves to Hyderabad, where two in-form sides coming off losses, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings, face off at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on 6th May, Wednesday. The game is set to begin at 7.30 pm (2 pm GMT), and as always, you can join us early for all the build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - It is Sanju Samson for his unbeaten, match-winning knock of 87 runs off 52 balls. He says that the fans call him Chetta, but he likes Sanju more. Samson says that they always try to find out what works best, and he has improved a bit on his initial movement over the past few years. He adds that he is always calm, and that his game plan was to capitalise in the middle overs, and it worked for them this time. Sanju reckons that he wanted to get to his hundred, but he kept his team first, and the priority was to win the game. Ends by saying he hopes to get another hundred in this tournament again.
The skipper of the Chennai Super Kings - Ruturaj Gaikwad says that even after the second and third games, the talk within the group was always positive. Mentions that they have pretty much covered all bases as a team, highlighting the strength added by Sanju Samson coming in and the middle order they possess. Gaikwad feels that they just needed a couple of wins to build momentum, and once they got those after the third game, the team started to gel together nicely. Ruturaj says Sanju Samson is the backbone of their batting unit. Adds that bowling wins tournaments, highlighting the presence of Akeal, Overton, and Anshul Kamboj. On Kartik Sharma, the CSK captain says the skillset was always there, and he just needed a few opportunities. Feels he didn’t get enough time in earlier games, but now that he has, he has shown he is not just a slogger.
Presentation Time...
A quick chat - CSK's Kartik Sharma says he really enjoyed the partnership with Sanju Samson. Mentions that the spinners got some help, with the ball stopping and turning a bit. Kartik says that they knew it wasn’t a big total, so they could take their time. Shares that Sanju Samson told him to play his natural game. Says he looked to play his shots whenever the opportunity presented itself, without targeting any particular bowler.
The captain of the Delhi Capitals - Axar Patel says that they thought 155 was a good score considering how the wicket was. He adds that there was something in the wicket, but CSK had a set batter, Sanju Samson, which made things difficult for them. The wicket was difficult to bat on for a new batter. Axar reckons that they finished well with the bat despite losing early wickets, so it's a positive for them. He says that he missed Kuldeep's brilliant bowling, and ends by saying that they will try to win their remaining games and stay in the hunt for the playoffs.
Inconsistent bowling cost DC - Delhi Capitals made a promising start, with Lungi Ngidi striking early and restricting Chennai Super Kings to 44/1 in the Powerplay. However, they failed to build on that momentum and couldn’t chip in with wickets at regular intervals, while Axar was impressive with 1/25, and both Starc and Ngidi kept things tight. Kuldeep Yadav and T Natarajan, however, proved expensive and allowed the pressure to slip, making it even tougher to defend what was already a below-par total.
DC fight back to go past 150 - Earlier in the game, Delhi Capitals were in deep trouble at 69/5 but fought back brilliantly to post a competitive total, with Tristan Stubbs and Impact Sub Sameer Rizvi adding a crucial 65-run stand. Rizvi top-scored with a quick 40 off 24, and a late push from Ashutosh Sharma helped them get past 150. Chennai Super Kings were solid with the ball, especially their spinners, who combined for 3/41 in 7 overs. Overton, Gurjapneet Singh and Mukesh Choudhary chipped in with a wicket each, but their in-form bowler Anshul Kamboj had an off day and was taken to the cleaners.
A match-defining stand seals it for CSK - It was not a daunting target for Chennai Super Kings, but they were dealt an early blow yet again with the loss of their skipper in the Powerplay. Sanju Samson, though, carried on his fine form, blending composure with calculated aggression to hold the innings together. Urvil Patel added a handy cameo, but the defining moment came through the unbeaten 114-run stand between Samson and Kartik Sharma, a partnership that effectively shut the door on Delhi Capitals. Samson capped off a fine effort with a well-crafted half-century and remained unbeaten on 87 off 52. The duo kept things firmly under control, timing their attacks smartly to ensure there were no late hiccups, with Kartik once again finishing things off by hitting the winning runs, just like he did against the Mumbai Indians.
Super Kings march on - Chennai Super Kings have completed the double over Delhi Capitals, with Sanju Samson once again playing a key role in their success, as they extend their already strong head-to-head record to 21-12 against the home side, making it two consecutive wins for CSK as they move into double digits for the season and stay within touching distance of the teams above them. Delhi Capitals slump to their fourth defeat in the last five games, a result that further dents their already fading playoff hopes.

Kuldeep Yadav To Kartik Sharma
A googly, full and around off, turns away, Kartik Sharma gets forward but plays well inside the line of it. It goes behind, where KL Rahul breaks the stumps and appeals, but nothing doing.
STRATEGIC BREAK! The game is interestingly poised, with a real contest between bat and ball, something we haven't seen too often this season. The importance of spending time in the middle is starting to show for Sanju Samson, and his role will be crucial in this chase for CSK. On a surface like this, it may take some time for a new batter to get accustomed to the pace and bounce. DC do not have a sixth bowling option, having used Sameer Rizvi as an Impact Sub, which meant the leggie Vipraj Nigam could not be included. They have three overs of Kuldeep Yadav up their sleeve, along with an over of Axar Patel, which could prove decisive from here.

Axar Patel To Urvil Patel OUT!
OUT! STUMPED! That is brilliant bowling from Axar Patel. Quicker, just outside off, with a hint of turn. Urvil Patel moves a bit forward and looks to drive it, but misses it completely. The ball beats the outside edge and goes towards KL Rahul, who whips the bails off in a flash. The umpire goes upstairs to have a check. Nothing on the UltraEdge. The replay shows that Urvil Patel's back leg was in the air when the bails were off. Urvil Patel's cameo comes to an end. Chennai Super Kings are 45/2 after 6.3 overs now.
Stumped? KL Rahul looks very confident, and Urvil Patel has already started to walk back. However, the on-field umpires want to make sure and send it upstairs. UltraEdge shows no bat involved, and the replay shows that Patel's back foot is in the air when Rahul breaks the stumps.

Lungi Ngidi To Urvil Patel
Nearly two in two! Goes wide on the crease and angles it in, on a good length, around the off stump. Urvil Patel pushes out in front with a straight bat but is beaten as the ball straightens to go past the blade.
Early blow for CSK! Urvil Patel walks out to bat at number 3.

Lungi Ngidi To Ruturaj Gaikwad OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! The CSK skipper falls cheaply. Lungi Ngidi strikes on his return from that awful accident. Cross-seam ball at 136.4 kph, on a length, on middle. Gaikwad plants his front foot across and looks to play the pick-up shot off the pads. Gaikwad takes on the deep square leg fielder, but he is through his shot early. He fails to get any power on the shot and picks out Sameer Rizvi in the deep, who bends and takes the catch around his knee. CSK are 24/1, chasing 156.

Lungi Ngidi To Ruturaj Gaikwad
Leg bye! Fractionally short, on middle. Gaikwad swivels for the pull but the ball goes under his bat and raps him on the thigh. A leg bye is taken as the ball goes in front of point.

Lungi Ngidi To Ruturaj Gaikwad
Half a shout for LBW! There were two sounds and the appeal has been turned down. Begins from over the wicket and goes wide on the crease. Attacking the front pad with a good-length delivery. Gaikwad ekes out an inside edge onto the front pad.
Change? Yes, Lungi Ngidi replaces his skipper. Good to see him back on the field after an injury scare a couple of games ago.

Mitchell Starc To Ruturaj Gaikwad
Tight single! In line with the off pole, on a good length. Gaikwad plays it close to his body and drops it with soft hands beside the strip on the off side. Pathum Nissanka gets to the ball in a flash from cover and releases an underarm throw at the bowling end on the dive. He misses but Gaikwad was home anyway.

Mitchell Starc To Ruturaj Gaikwad
FOUR! Off the edge! This is full, outside off. Ruturaj Gaikwad's feet go nowhere and just pushes away from his body. Gets a thickish outside edge and it goes uppishly but right through the gap between short third and a fine backward point.

Mitchell Starc To Sanju Samson
And again, this time, it is Pathum Nissanka. Fuller and on off, Samson taps it away to cover, where Pathum Nissanka flings himself to his left and makes a half-stop. It is parried away to the deep fielder. Just a single.

Mitchell Starc To Sanju Samson
Fine effort! Starc hits the back of a length, on off. Sanju rides the bounce and angles it behind point with an open bat face. Sameer Rizvi dives to his right and sticks out his right hand to make the stop. It would have been a boundary if not for the stop.

FIVE WIDES! That has beaten everyone! Axar follows Gaikwad as he backs away, on the shorter side. Ruturaj misses out on the glance. KL Rahul is unsighted by the batter standing in front of him. He stands no chance of making a stop as the ball beats him to his left and races into the fence.

SIX! Lovely shot! Sliding on with the arm, on a length, on middle. Samson stays leg side of the ball and opens up the front hip. He gets his hands through the ball and goes inside out over cover with a high elbow for a six.
End of an eventful first over! Spin from the other end as Axar Patel brings himself into the attack.

Mitchell Starc To Sanju Samson
DC lose their review! Starc pushes the length up, on middle and leg. Gets the ball to curve back into the right-hander. Samson presses half-forward and is on his heel while trying to flick it away. The ball sneaks under the toe end of the blade to catch him low on the front pad. The batters cross over for one. A loud shout for LBW, but turned down. Axar Patel walks up to the bowler and takes the review in the nick of time. The UltraEdge comes up with a scratch when the ball is near the toe of the bat. The on-field decision is upheld.
Is that out? Axar Patel sends it upstairs for an LBW decision, not given on the field. It looks pretty close to the naked eye if there is no bat involved. However, UltraEdge shows a spike when the ball is next to the bat. The on-field call of NOT OUT stands.
