Chennai vs Punjab IPL 2024 Match 49: Who Said What

Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK captain: (We were) Probably 50-60 runs short, the pitch wasn't great when we batted, but it got better later on. With the impact rule as well, we were well short. I've practised the tosses (during the practice sessions), but it's not going well in the match, not sure what to do. To be truthful, I'm under pressure when I go to the middle (for the toss).

We were also surprised that we won by a big margin in the last match considering the conditions (win by 78 runs against SRH). I think the last two games, the conditions and pitch was better, it allowed us to fight hard and get to 200+, today, it wasn't good enough to get to even 180.

It's a real problem (on the player missing due to injuries and Deepak Chahar walking away in the first over), there are phases where you want wickets, but you have only two bowlers, the dew took the spinners out of the equation. It was tough, but there're four games left and we will try and come back to winning ways.

Sam Curran, PBKS Captain: Very happy (with the win tonight). Everytime you come to Chennai and take two wins, always a special feeling. Same as last year, we lost a lot of our home games and won away, finding a similar pattern. We are in a position where we need to win all our games, we come up against the same opposition in a few days.

I think when you come to Chennai, you know how hot it is and the dew is going to settle in. Today we wanted to try something different by trying Rabada in the powerplay. We wanted to use our spinners later on, so took a punt on trying KG (Rabada) within the powerplay.

Chahar came back and was the best bowler in the 260 games, and he's bowling with great confidence. He stepped up when I asked him to bowl against MSD in the 19th over.

(On bowling Chahar in the 19th) The pace bowlers were going for a bit in the end, and I wanted to try something different. Asked Rilee what he reckoned and took that gamble with spin. In this game where everyone has been going for runs, you need to take such gambles. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

We come against the same opposition so we have one up on them. It is a new game, new conditions but this win will give us a lot of confidence. I think our bowlers were superb, the spinners and Jonny striking them well, even the way we paced that chase, it was brilliant. Need to build on that confidence.

Harpreet Brar, Player of the Match: It was a good wicket to bowl on, and even Rahul bowled really well. I have been playing for 6 years, so my confidence has been pretty high. Now bowling to these legends of the game feels normal, I just bowl to my strengths. To be honest, I don't think wickets, my aim is only to bowl lots of dot balls and dot balls create the wickets. When there is a spin in the wicket, the bowlers' confidence goes up and it is a bit helpful.
