Matheesha Pathirana,Player of the Match: My journey with CSK started from last year, I came in as a replacement and played only two games, but this season I am playing more and I am happy. They (team management) give me a lot of confidence. This is my best bowling figures in T20 cricket and I am happy with the performance. I am a die hard fan of Cristiano Ronaldo (referring to his celebrations after picking a wicket).
MS Dhoni , CSK captain: It was a very crucial game for a simple reason, if you see the points table there’s a muddle in the middle. Last few games the results have not gone in our favour and so it is good to be on the winning side.
Rohit Sharma, MI captain: Everywhere I guess (on what went wrong), we didn’t bat well enough, didn’t put enough runs for the bowlers to defend. We had an off-day as a batting unit. We just did what we felt was comfortable (on him going down to 3), needed an Indian batter to bat in the middle overs against spin after unfortunately losing Tilak Varma, but we lost three wickets for just 16 runs.
