Commentary

That is all from the commentary box folks. Join us tomorrow for an extra special doubleheader day. Before leaving the whole family of Onecricket urges everyone to stay safe, say secure. Wear masks if one has to go outside, wash and sanitize your hands regularly and keep social distancing and get vaccinated as and when you are eligible. We have to beat the virus together. Till tomorrow it's bye and goodnight from me, Arya Sekhar Chakraborty and my fellow commentators Arjun Bhalla, Kingshuk Kusari and Anurag Singh.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Player of the Match: Obviously, it means a lot, but a little bit disappointed I couldn't finish it. I'd loved to be not out. I think the wicket was a little bit two-paced: some were skidding and some were stopping. It was about hitting the gaps. One or two bowlers had an off day and I had to keep going. Fortunately, it came off today. I want to keep performing every match and be consistent.

Ruturaj Gaikwad is the Man of the Match for his sensational knock.

MS Dhoni, CSK skipper: The batting performance was superb, but that doesn't mean the bowling was not good. It was a surprisingly good Delhi wicket, there was no dew. Brilliant opening partnership. I think addressing the problem [what's been different for CSK this year?] The earlier you settle the issue, the better it is. The fact was 5-6 months we were out of cricket last year and that also makes it difficult. Longer quarantine and quite a lot of factors. If I have to sum it up, the players have taken up more responsibility this year. If you see for the last 8-10 years, we have not changed players from the squad. We also appreciate the players who don't get the chance. Try to have faith and when you get an opportunity, you need to be ready for it. Keeping the dressing-room atmosphere healthy is important. We need to give extra credit to the players who are not playing.

It's time for Ian Bishop to have a chat with CSK skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
