🏏IPL 2025 - Match 8:CSK vs RCB at MCS Stadium, Chennai,7:30 PM IST🏏 - Page 107

All my heart broken Tamilians in chepauk go home soon.. It will take another 3-4 hrs for traffic to disperse leaving you all more frustrated..

Ruturaj Gaikwad: "I still feel 170 was a par score on this wicket. It wasn't that easy to bat. Bad fielding cost us. When you're chasing 170, you have a little more time, but when you're chasing 20 runs extra you have to bat differently in the powerplay and it didn't happen today. It got a little slower, it got a little sticky. The new ball was sticking a bit. Don't know how it happened. Rahul backed his shot, I backed mine as well, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. But as I said when you have a par score in mind and you are chasing 20 extra you always want to stay ahead. So that was just the thinking. But at the end we didn't lose by a big margin, it was just 50 runs. Definitely a different scenario when you have three world class spinners in the team. You want new batters to face them. It didn't happen this time, we dropped catches and boundaries kept coming and they kept going and the momentum didn't stop till the last over. There's a long flight to Guwahati but we just have to turn up mentally and see which are the areas we can improve. I feel the fielding has to improve a lot and we have to come back stronger in the fielding department."

Congratulations RCB fans..

CSK fans rona nahi..ye toh win hai ya learn hai..

Josh Hazlewood: "Feeling nice and fresh. As a group tonight we were outstanding. Improved from our last game against KKR. Made good use of the conditions and did well as a pace and spin unit. I think with this wicket here you get a little bit of up and down, a little two paced, so the fuller ball is easier to face so just hitting that 8-10m length. The energy was great, the effort from the fielding group was excellent, saving runs and taking catches. It really lifts us up as bowlers. Any time you get injured you can feel down, but if you use that time nicely and get some nice time in the gym, it's a nice position to be in. I think having a left-armer is crucial. Every team in the competition has a left-arm quick and his changes of pace was excellent today and he is a class act."

Mujhe toh SRH KKR se weak lag rahi hai

KKR at least has good bowlers, strong middle order

SRH ka kal dekh liya

Bass high scores karne hai inko

I feel they won't even reach play offs (no jinx)

SRH LETTING GO OF BHUVI...

RR picking Deshpande Treekshana as main bowlers

Kkrs lack batsman like us but they have good bowlers

Aaj ke baad pata laga hamre fielders ho gaye gujre hain

Csk is not using Vijay Shankar Sidhhart nd many more are there...

Thank God dhoni didn't hit another 6

Warna total pts bhi jata

As I said we had lost that intent for which csk is known for

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.

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.
