With four points from seven points, Chennai Super Kings found themselves in a rather unusual situation ahead of the Hyderabad encounter but an all-round performance made things easier with the Chennai side securing their third win in a brilliant fashion. The win has kept their play-offs hopes alive with another four wins from the six games will ensure a berth, more or less. However, Dwayne Bravo, who played a crucial role in the encounter, stated that the team is not looking too far ahead.

“I enjoy these moments of the game, especially the back end of it. I must give the whole credit to Shardul. His 19th over made it really easy for me. Rashid Khan can be a dangerous player to deal with. I’m no longer quick so I enjoy myself in the circle. Happy to contribute with the run out. Manish Pandey is a key player for them. I had a stint with him (Sam Curran) and his brother at Surrey. Really enjoyed playing with both of them. He has a lot of heart and character.”
