Chenni Super Kings won by 1 Wicket
At the end of the match CSK won By 1 wicket...
Good lord, take your time to catch your breath. That was something else. IPL XI could not have asked for a better game to kick it off. Look at MS Dhoni though, calmly walking down the stairs even as his teammates are going mad in celebration. This was a chase which even he wouldn't have thought his team would pull off, once they slipped to 84/6. But CSK have announced their IPL return in style with a stunning come-from-behind win. Kedar Jadhav was the hero in the end, sure, but a lot of credit has to go to Dwayne Bravo who made a sensational 68 off just 30 balls to turn the game around out of nowhere. Wow, what a game.

Good lord, take your time to catch your breath. That was something else. IPL XI could not have asked for a better game to kick it off. Look at MS Dhoni though, calmly walking down the stairs even as his teammates are going mad in celebration. This was a chase which even he wouldn't have thought his team would pull off, once they slipped to 84/6. But CSK have announced their IPL return in style with a stunning come-from-behind win. Kedar Jadhav was the hero in the end, sure, but a lot of credit has to go to Dwayne Bravo who made a sensational 68 off just 30 balls to turn the game around out of nowhere. Wow, what a game.
Dhoni, CSK captain: I think they missed the competition (on Wankhede fans cheering CSK). CSK-MI is one game that people wait to watch. Support has always been there wherever we've played. We're coming back after two years, that's also the reason that people are eager to watch us in action. Overall the spectators have been very good. I'm a practical person, so I was hoping in the dressing room that the quantum of defeat shouldn't be too big. The idea was - if there's a chance to win, go for it, but also try to get closer to the target. The way Bravo batted, it was really good to see him take the responsibility. Don't think we batted well as a team. But it's the first game, so we'll take the positives out of it. Those will be more important for us in the coming games. The kind of players we have got, our selection will be based on horses for courses where we'll see the wicket and then decide. We'll also keep an eye for players who are injury prone. We'll have to keep an eye on lot of things. We have quite a few who can bat and bowl.
Kedar Jadhav: I am happy psychologically, but physically I am hurt. I don't know how long I will be out, maybe two weeks, three weeks or even a month. Fingers crossed, but I would like to appreciate Bravo's knock. Credit goes to him, he brought us back into the game. I knew I couldn't run and I needed to get the runs. I told him (Tahir) that I will try and make the runs myself, play all the six balls and try and stay still. But after three balls, I felt he (Tahir) was feeling itchy. I knew that the bowler would come under pressure, I was waiting for my chance, knew that the bad ball would come, wanted to see how my body was reacting. The deeper I took the game, he (the bowler) comes under more pressure.
Rohit Sharma: Feeling low at the moment, credit to Bravo, he played well, hit the right pockets, there was some dew and that didn't help us, but they played well. We need to improve our death bowling, we were in the game till the 17th over, the last three overs didn't go our way, dew isn't an excuse. We knew with 165 on the board, we needed to bowl very well, but I think we were 10-15 runs short. Bravo bowled very well in the end, we have got a great bunch of guys, we need to look into the positives and learn from it. Just the first game, it isn't the end of the world, we will need to learn from this.
