Josh Hazlewood: It (the ball is coming out nicely) is. I am nice and fresh. As a group we were outstanding. We used the conditions nicely against KKR and did the same tonight. With this wicket it was a little bit up and down, two-paced and we tried to hit that in between length. The energy is always great at RCB and it has led into the fielding group, it really lifts us. Any time you get injured you feel down, but I used it wisely, doing fitness and being fresh. Having a left-armer (Yash Dayal) is crucial and we see that with every team, he has a good change of pace and is a class act.
Rachin wasn't exactly flowing well but he held one end up. Hooda just couldn't move along. Dube promised for a while but Dayal's double-strike almost killed the game. CSK knew they were out of the contest and just batted time. Ashwin tried, Jadeja got a few, Dhoni managed late hits but in general the surrender was already done. A complete display of outclassing CSK in their own den.
Ruturaj Gaikwad: I still feel 170 was a par score on this wicket. Bad day in the fielding cost us. When you are chasing 20 runs extra on a sticky wicket, you have to bat differently. It got a little bit slower and sticky. Don't really know how it happened. Rahul backed his shot, I backed my shot, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Still happy that we didn't lose by a big margin. A different scenario. When you have three world-class spinners, you want the new batters to face them. The momentum kept going and didn't stop till the final over. There's a long flight to Guwahati, we have to turn up mentally. The fielding has to improve a lot and we have to come back strongly.
23:14 Local Time, 17:44 GMT, 23:14 IST: Rajat's face at the toss said it all that his team was ready to give it back today. They have a history they would like to forget here
