11.55pm CSK seal another win, this time in RCB's den with a convincing win and the hosts continue at the bottom of the table. After resurrecting the innings to post 181, it was Ashish Nehra all the way. He dismissed the openers, took two wickets in two pairs and finished with astonishing figures of 4-0-10-4 to lead the wicket-takers' charts now.

Nehra: On this ground 180 is par but the way we contained, we are quite happy. I've been bowling well for the last couple of years but nobody was noticing since I was not taking wickets. I took wicked in the Champions League too, but this time I'm getting noticed.

Virat Kohli: There's not much I can say at this point. We've really disappointed ourselves more than anyone else and we've not really performed as a group. We have to have a talk about it with the team and can't afford to lose matches like this. It's about stringing partnerships…whenever we started a partnership we lost a wicket. We need to take them from 25 to 50-70. The guys need to bee smarter and set themselves up, especially in Bangalore. Having Mitchell back was a big plus, Harshal bowled well, and Iqbal and Chahal got wickets too.

MS Dhoni: We could have done better, there were a few situations where the application was wrong - both batting and bowling. Our spinners need to come up with better performances, they haven't done so well in the tournament and wickets will get slower as the tournament progresses. Faf has been brilliant and we stationed him at mid-off for that, he also talks to the bowlers being a s senior player, if needed. We have fielders who aren't quick but we thrive on our fielding. [For de Villiers' run out] that's the awareness you need on the field, he is fantastic no matter where he is playing. It's an easy wicket if you get him run out.

Raina is the Man of the Match (not Nehra): I worked really hard with Flem, had a good stand with Smith today. My plan was just to be positive for six overs first. I think we were 20 runs short but credit goes to bowlers. Ashish has been amazing for us for the last two years. RCB are still the favourites in the tournament, we need to play better too.

Those are the words from one former captain and two current ones from the international arena, and that's a wrap from this match. Tune it for the sole match tomorrow at 2000 local time, between Delhi Daredevils and Mumbai Indians and we'll entertain you again. Until then, this is Vishal D saying: Ciao!

Krish: "Cannot believe Nehra don't get MoM! Insane."
