What they said:

"You've got to be really careful because batting has dominated this IPL. And if you use Rachin, I'm not not being disrespectful, it's part-time spin. So, having six options, when scores are around 200-220, we've been able to keep them up from last game down to 180 because we've had really, really good options at the right time. Yep, we might have given up maybe a spot but Jaddu, obviously the all-rounder aspect to it has allowed us to still keep a long batting order. But it's our view that bowling is under pressure. So having the six options to try and stop some of these long scores has been the key for us so far." - CSK Head Coach Stephen Fleming on CSK compromising an extra batter.

"He has played over 600 professional T20 matches and I've said this in many places: nothing is more important than experience because T20 cricket is a game of experience. The more experience you have, the more situations you have seen. So, he has an answer for every situation because he himself has lived in that situation. Plus, he has spent a lot of time at CSK. He knows how to bat and bowl on this ground and he knows what tactics to use." - Venkatesh Iyer on mentor Dwayne Bravo's experience in Chennai coming in handy.

CSK vs KKR Probable Best Performers
