KKR's clinical win means the table is split between the top four and the bottom four. Kings XI, CSK, RR and KKR are four points above the chasing pack.
MS Dhoni: "It was a bad toss to lose, the wicket became slightly better to bat on, the bowlers created the opportunities but the fielder couldn't take it. The wicket was slow to start off, their spinners bowled really well, Raina played another good innings, 10 or 15 runs short."
Presentation ceremony:
Gautam Gambhir: "I think we were pretty professional with the bat and ball, Bowlers restricting CSK to 154 was exceptional. Hopefully we can turn up in a couple of days and do what we did today. We have quality spinners in the ranks, and irrespective of the pitch they perform, and I want to mention Umesh and Cummins as well, they don't get mentioned as often as they should."
Man of the Match is Robin Uthappa: "I've enjoyed batting here on this ground, the crowd is fantastic, I have always done well here, sort of a lucky ground for me. The wicket was coming on well, the dew factor also helped it. I just wanted to play to the merit of the ball, when you play T20 you tend to lose shape technically, that's what I have been trying to avoid, to not lose shape in the first six overs." Uthappa dedicates the innings to "a very, very close friend Muffin".
That's a wrap from me. Our daily post-match video show will start shortly, stick around for that.
