2. Post-match comments

Rahul Tripathi, SRH batsman: The skipper and opener gave us a great start. It was important to spend time in the middle and I had to just play my shots. It was important for the team to go out there and express ourselves. The win was very important for us. I think Abhishek played extremely well. He took the bowling on and kept up with the run-rate. The win is important because this tournament is competitive.

Ravindra Jadeja, CSK captain: It's with the ball that we are disappointed but we were 20-25 runs short. We were looking to fight till the end. 155 isn't bad and our bowlers were looking to take wickets. Tomorrow might be a day off but we'll look to improve. We'll talk about where we are lacking. We are professionals and need to work hard, stick together and come back stronger.

Kane Williamson, SRH captain: Every game you play is tough. We want to keep on improving. Although it's our first win, we had to look on some of the things we'd done right in the previous game. Staying calm and staying on task. For us it's focusing on our cricket and play smart. We are starting to see games played on surface once, twice.

The target was competitive on that definitely. The ball held on the surface. We were able to build partnership and Abhishek was terrific. Learning from the first innings and taking it into our chase. The game always challenges you, everybody is trying to make contributions to the team.

Abhishek Sharma, Player of the Match: It was a pressure game for the team and me. I am pretty much lucky to have a team like SRH as they have been very supportive. It's a good start for me and I look forward to score more. They just wanted me to bat naturally and play my strokes. I have been waiting for my bowling. Whenever I get the situation I am ready for it.
