This is Sanju's best innings in the ipl.. If he can hold himself like today then he'll get chance in the Indian team..

 

[King_Kohli]

Chennai Super Kings from being the first team to qualify most of the times in the IPL, now is the first team to be out of the qualification scenes.

 

[Smbhayi]

Looking at the table what a miss by SRH yesterday

 

[Ab Fan]

I think Punjab will qualify ultimately, their run rate is better than KKR and RR.

Ben Stokes, Man of the Match - Sort of bittersweet to be honest - it took so long to get one for the team. I would have preferred to get this form two or three games before when we weren't relying on other results to get us through to the qualifiers. It's always nice to get back to form. We needed a result from today, so - it's a good victory. Training yesterday was the best I have had for the full time I have been here.

Came into the game with a lot more confidence than the other games. Nice to spend some time out in the middle and finish the game off. The ball was coming on nicely - be it short or full. It was hard when they dug it into the wicket. We got ourselves into a great position by putting the pressure back on to every bowler who came on.

They have obviously got Bumrah, which we managed to score probably a lot freer than we thought we'd be able to. It's a bit difficult at the moment, things are a bit tough back at home, hopefully, this will give them some happiness.
