SRH vs CSK, 41st Match at Chennai, IPL, Apr 23 2019 - Match Result

That's all from us tonight. Thanks for joining

Shane Watson is the man of the match: I was due runs, that's for sure. I can't thank Stephen Fleming and MS Dhoni enough to have kept faith in me. In any other team, I may have been dropped sooner. Happy to repay that faith. I knew I was in good nick, just needed to get my head right, get my technique right, had a bit of luck by playing and missing in the beginning.

MS Dhoni: I think you can give individuals a few games. Watson has been a match winner for us so we need to back him and he has been batting well in the nets. If Watson gets going, you know what's on the plate. It started last year and it's good to see different individuals come good, the bowler's have done surprisingly well, the batting needs to click together. The back is holding up, it's not getting worse, with the World Cup coming up, can't afford that, because that's too important.

11.40pm Stay tuned for the presentation. Ankur will be here shortly to bring you that.

Harbhajan Singh: "It's always nice to go out there in the middle, unfortunately I missed a few games due to sickness. My whole family was sick, in fact. Nice to be back, and really happy with the result as well. We would have liked to finish the game in the 19th over itself, but the boys were just testing our hearts. Somehow we have the tendency to take it to the last over. As long as we're getting the result, we're fine. It's nice to see Shane Watson getting those runs under his belt. He's a serious player, last year he won us the final single-handedly, and this innings will boost his confidence. We always play well in Chennai, we know our conditions, and thanks to this beautiful crowd who come here to Chennai Super Kings. When teams come here, they have to play much better cricket than us to beat us."

Bhuvneshwar Kumar: "I think it was a par score, but there was a bit of dew on the wicket. And the way Watson was going, we couldn't do much. Anyone can have an off-day (speaking about Rashid), but it was the first off-day he had. Next three games out of four are away games, we really need to win those games to qualify for the playoffs. Captaincy gives me a lot of experience, it's helped me mature as a player."

11.34pm A comfortable win for Super Kings, with a tiny bit of a wobble towards the end. That wobble showed how well Watson was hitting it while scoring 96 off 53 balls. CSK are back on top of the table now.

One run to get, two balls to go, and the batsmen have crossed so it'll be Jadhav on strike. Bravo's walked in ahead of Dhoni.

Scores are level now.

Well, well. Only seven off the last two overs, and no boundaries. CSK need nine now. Who'll bowl the last over? Sandeep's the only frontline bowler with any overs left, and here he is.

Just like the Sunrisers innings, the batsmen have found it harder to find the boundary off the seamers when the ball's become older. Except for Watson, that is.

Satya: "Tactical error by SRH leaving out Nadeem instead Sandeep."

Only three off that over, and the wicket of Watson. Has Bhuvneshwar shifted a tiny bit of pressure back onto Super Kings? Here's Khaleel, round the wicket.

Here's Jadhav.

Update: Rayudu has joined Watson in that 40-balls-no-dismissals-against-Rashid club. Basically, the two most invincible batsmen against Rashid are in the middle together.

Abhishek: "I sent a message at start of this innings about why MSD is such a great captain. So happy to be proven correct. It's because he backs he players in their bad times. Everyone was baying for his blood and Shane Watson delivers the goods. No team like CSK. No captain like MS."
