6:33 PM IST The captain of the Chennai Super Kings - Ruturaj Gaikwad says it was a good game of cricket and feels CSK stayed in the contest until the penultimate over. He describes it as a very good T20 pitch and mentions that the surface did not change much through the course of the game. According to him, 180 was around a par total, but CSK still left a few runs out there with the bat. Gaikwad opines that given the limitations with the squad and the combinations available, the team did the best they could, and there were still plenty of positives to take away from the season. He also highlights the additions of Sanju Samson and Kartik Sharma as major positives for the side. Ruturaj admits that CSK missed a few key players this season, but thanks the fans for supporting the team through thick and thin. He signs off by saying that they will return as a much stronger unit next year.

6:31 PM IST The victorious skipper of Sunrisers Hyderabad - Pat Cummins says that it feels really satisfying. Adds that it is a tough period in the middle overs and the team needs a couple of strong partnerships to build momentum. Mentions that the new batters find conditions tricky, but Ishan and Klaasen pick the right bowlers to attack and play some outstanding shots. Cummins shares that the pitch was gripping and some deliveries were staying low, so the message was not to go too hard too early. He credits Ishan and Klaasen for adapting brilliantly to the conditions. He feels the partnerships make the difference and says 180 was around par on that wicket, perhaps even slightly above it.

6:30 PM IST PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Ishan Kishan wins the award for his match-winning knock of 70 runs off 47 balls. Kishan says he felt the wicket was not an easy one to bat on and admits that chasing 181 looked a bit too much initially. He adds that, batting at number three, his role was to stay till the end and guide the chase through. Kishan says the key in such situations is to keep believing in yourself and not allow any self-doubt to creep in. He mentions that he tried to keep things simple and focused on batting for as long as possible. On his partnership with Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan says there was not much conversation in the middle and that both batters were simply backing their instincts and playing their shots. He also shares an emotional moment, revealing that his cousin was at the ground watching the game after recently losing his sister. Kishan says he wanted to finish the match for him and is grateful that he was able to do so. He signs off by saying he felt blessed from upstairs.

6:23 PM IST CSK fight hard but fall short - Chennai Super Kings gave it everything on the field and with the ball. Mukesh Chaudhary set the tone early with a wicket, and although CSK managed to keep the scoring rate in check for large parts, they failed to create many clear-cut chances after Akeal Hosein removed Abhishek Sharma. One key moment came when Spencer Johnson put down Heinrich Klaasen, a chance that could have proved decisive. The hosts threw themselves around in the field with a few heroic saves, but also conceded some sloppy runs that undid a lot of their hard work. Noor Ahmad and Anshul Kamboj chipped in with a wicket each, while Mukesh finished with a two-fer, but a few too many slot balls at the death ultimately took the game away from them.
