That is the end of an amazing double-header Saturday. While RR won the afternoon encounter beating DC by a comfortable margin, CSK walked past MI in what was an one-sided affair under lights here at Wankhede.

Ravindra Jadeja: "I think when we were bowling it wasn't really spinning. Yeah, odd balls were spinning but it was going straight for the most part of it. I and Mitchell Santner were looking to bowl on right lines and lengths with the batters they had. Here and there we could have gone for runs but it's okay. It's a bit of mixed wickets here. Sometimes it's good for batting, sometimes it is pacey or sticky. We keep discussing with each other and bowl accordingly. It's important to speak to one another and support each other."
Player of the Match: Ravindra Jadeja
MS Dhoni (CSK Captain): "It feels good and also not to forget we lost Deepak in the first over. It was a big challenge. He has been our new ball bowler. Magala was playing his first game. It was bit of an issue how to shuffle the bowlers and who to bowl when. Good thing is that the spinners bowled very well. Initial 6-7 overs, it wasn't turning a lot. They were able to play the big shot. I feel it was a two-paced after that. So spinners were able to use that in their favor. Fast bowlers came back nicely. Magala and Pretorius came back nicely. Overall its a very good effort after losing one of your premium bowler. To come back an d restrict them close to 160 is a very good effort.
We believe in him (Tushar Deshpande). What happens is when you are new, you have a different sort of pressure and when you play IPL for a few games and it feels like a comeback. I feel as cricketers its one of the worst feelings to have. He had a very good domestic season and that helps. We are constantly talking to him about what needs to be done. He is very good with execution. but in the last couple of games he had bowled no balls and that's not a very good feeling to have at the back of your bowling mark. That's something that you don't want to have in your mind. I feel he's improving. The delivery that Rohit got out to was a fantastic delivery so he has that potential, he can be much more consistent. So we're just hoping that he takes that added responsibility.
Me and Jinx spoke at the beginning when we started practicing for CSK. He was simple asking 'what you are looking from me?' Whatever I had in me I told him you need to play at your strength. You won't be somebody who will be consistently hitting sixes but you have the ability to manipulate the field, use the pace of the bowler and he is technically very sound. I said go and enjoy because that's what is needed. Don't take too much stress. Yes we are not able to give you the first game but when the chance comes, we'll back you and I was very happy the way he batted. I think he was a bit disappointed the way he got out which is always a good signal when a player says I could have done slightly more.
I feel all the games are important. The more you can manage. The first target is to win enough games to make into the qualifiers and then depending on where you are standing on the league's table. But that's far too ahead. Important is to look at the problems in front of you and take it one game at a time, try to do well, try to win games and gather points."
