That's the game! Coulter-Nile will not bat, this was tossed up outside off and Nadeem made room to carve that over cover, Raina ran to his right at cover and took the catch easily at the edge of the circle
CSK vs Daredevils, 8th match at Abu Dhabi, IPL, Apr 21 2014 - Match Result
CSK's 93-run win against DC is their largest margin of victory in terms of runs in IPL, beating 92-run win against RCB
Suresh Raina has scored 21 fifty-plus scores in IPL, breaking Chris Gayle's record
Super Kings win by a whopping 93 runs and their biggest IPL win. Raina really should be the Man of the Match tonight. Those three splendid catches - 2 from du Plessis, one from Raina, left Daredevils shell shocked early. No recovery stand after that. A forgetable night for Delhi. All six CSK bowlers picked wickets.
Dinesh Karthik: "Coulter-Nile will be out for some time, pulled his hamstring. To have lost him that early was a blow for us. The target was gettable if we batted better, the ball was seaming. Under the lights it was doing a bit more. I would have batted second anyway had I won the toss."
Presentation:
Dhoni: "Complete performance. Catches win matches. This was a perfect game for us, bit of help for fast bowlers. Seven batsmen should be good enough. We had a day off and fielding is something we always emphasise on and it can be a benchmark for forthcoming games."
Raina is the Man of the Match: "We bowled really well. We won because of the fielding. I looked to be positive till the last ball. The pitch was doing something. The new ball does do more under lights. I think Ishwar Pandey won us the game today. I've managed to play so many games for CSK because of my fitness as it is very hot in Chennai so you need to keep fit."
So a slightly early finish today. That's it from us here tonight. The action continues tomorrow. Thanks for your company!

zion: "Why is everyone thinking playing for CSK assures your spot in Indian team, then jakati should have played long back and Badrinath would be regular member.. Its only if you perform well in a already well performing members of CSK. Take examples of Jadeja he was not from csk when he debut nor awana or rahane its talent that matters"
