CSK vs RR, 47th match at Chennai, IPL, May 10 2015 - Match Result

That is that for the day. Looking forward to your company tomorrow. Ta ta, cheers.

Baz will be available for the next two games. He will be leaving only on the 17th, says Arun. And his feature will be flying in soon. Watch out for it.

Ravindra Jadeja, Man of the Match: First of all thanks to my mom. Today is Mother's day. I enjoyed bowling. Negi is hitting the ball well. We are reaching the knock-out stage. He is a good fielder and he is an entertainer. He is doing good work - bowling, fielding and batting. I haven't thought about a colour for the fielding cap. I just want to keep doing well for the team."

MS Dhoni: He batted really well. He comes from New Zealand and it was difficult for him. There is a joke going around in the dressing room: If Brendon Mccullum bats for 6-7 overs he will be cooked. Michael Hussey will fill the role [after Baz's departure]. He has been with us and at the end of the day his instincts will take over. I did not have to use Ashwin. I had both the fast bowlers and I said I need not have to use Ashwin for this game.

Steven Smith: Look Shane has decided to hand the captaincy to me so that he can concentrate on his skills. That's how its going to be for the rest of the season. Morris bowled exceptionally, all the bowlers did a good job. Jadeja bowled well to take 4 for 11. We lost wickets in clumps and it was tough to form a partnership after that. We have a six-day break and hopefully finish well to make the qualifiers.

Bravo: He [Nehra] is a great team-mate and we have a good partnership going. No banter, the team is winning and that's more important for us. I am happy. I enjoy bowling at the back end. These situations bring the best out me. White [responding to a colour he would prefer for a fielding cap]. He is a great fielder as well.

11:45pm: The players shake hands. Nehra hands over the purple cap to the man of the moment - DJ Bravo. He was everywhere, excelled on the field, impressed with his assortment of slower balls. Jadeja bounced back to form, justifying the team management's faith in him with figures of 4 for 11. Negi, Jaddu and Bravo exploited the slow pitch effectively, so much so that Super Kings did not need Ashwin. Royals continued to lose wickets at regular intervals and eventually fell short by 12 runs. Super Kings are almost through to the playoffs.

Surendharan: "without Ashwin's bowling in this pitch, CSK won.."

Abhishek: "After winning the first 5 games in a row, the Royals face a must win last game to just qualify for playoffs. Oh Royals....."

Bravo for the last over.. 27 needed off it
