Presentation Ceremony
Dhoni: "It's always good to be on the winning side. We were a bit rusty in the first match, but the boys executed the plans well today to put up a big score. We were not sure about the dew factor but we still thought 190 odd is a good score to defend."
White: "Jadeja played really well, and we did not play all that well. We are a young team and Chennai are an excellent side"
Man of the Match is Ravindra Jadeja
Was there a doubt in that? Unanimous choice
Ravindra Jadeja: "A fabulous performance for me. I would like to thank my mom and family and I'm very happy that I had a good day. Initially I was looking to rotate strike. I was waiting for a left arm spinner to come in and then I wanted to go for the big shots. In T20, a 5 wicket haul is very good. I was trying to bowl stump to stump and wanted to restrict them. "
A Thumping win here for the Super Kings. Ravindra Jadeja clearly stood out with a super human performance, first with the bat and then with the ball. Deccan Chargers have to pull up their socks after this humiliating loss and their think tank have enough to keep them occupied for the next few days
LBW! fires it on the middle stump, Steyn tries to push it back to the bowler but does not get bat onto the ball, thumps on his pads, caught plumb in front, Jadeja gets a five-for
on the legs, Ankit sharma goes onto his back foot and pulls it to deep backward square leg
flat and quicker, cuts it to point
quicker through the air, squeezes it to short mid wicket
outside off, goes back and turns it away to backward square
on the middle and off, defends it to the on side
Strategic Time out....
outside off, Steyn stays in the crease and drives through to long on
wide outside off, Ankit sharma slaps it to deep cover for a single
similar shot, picks up a half volley, plays with the spin and clubs it over deep mid wicket again for a monstrous hit
short of a length, gives room and has all the time in the world to clobber it over deep mid wicket for a six
fuller length, driven down to the long off
on the legs, driven down to long on for a one
looks to drive, ball races away to third man off a thick outside edge, Vijay does well to stop it from reaching the fence
flighted outside off, Steyn looks to drive and misses, Dhoni flips the bails off but Steyn is well in
pushes quicker through the air, inside edge on to the pads
GONE, Stumped! Jadeja gets it spin away, Ravi Teja was into his shot a tad early and is dragged out of his crease and Dhoni does the rest
GONE, caught by Raina! tossed up on middle, looks to smash it high over deep cover but Raina takes an easy catch in the deep
Tossed up outside off, bunts it to short cover, Dhoni picks it and has a shy at the stumps and an overthrow fetches the batsmen a run
