Pitch Report

"It's really hot" reckons Hayden, "there's a small breeze coming in, the sea breeze but will disappear throughout the course of the day. It's a long hit down the ground, 78m. 70m to my right, 64m to my left which is the smaller part of the ground." Morgan says, "It's a beautiful track, typical of Chepauk, not a great deal of grass. You have to adapt to the conditions, might just be two paced especially for the batters who come in. Partnerships are going to be crucial. CSK need to do better in the powerplay. Win the toss and bat."

Commentary

Right then, this has been Lavil and Pradeep bringing to you the live coverage of this match. Switch tabs on Sportskeeda to watch the game between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals. CIAO!

KL Rahul (Player of the Match, Delhi Capitals): It is how it has been; I am quite used to it. I was prepping to play at the top of the order before the tournament. Before the tournament started, one of the coaches said he wanted me to bat at number 4 as one of the senior players didn't turn up. It is more mental and is more like the process of getting used to walking at a particular stage. I have a few routines, and my body has gotten used to them. It took me some time to get used to it and overcome my nerves. Once it is settled, it is a game of bat and ball. I have been working on going from ball 1. I started off really well, but through the middle, it was a bit scratchy. I had good partnerships with Porel, with him getting quick 20-30 runs. I had a couple of partnerships like that with Axar, and it took a bit of time. We lost wickets when I wanted to go after the bowling. Once I got past the 10-11 over mark, I decided to target the bowlers and take them on. I got cooked in the end and left 15-20 runs at the back. That is something I expect to be better at next time.

Axar Patel (captain, Delhi Capitals): Never thought this would be easy (winning three in three games), but everyone is chipping in, and it is great to see. When we speak in the team meeting, we discuss that our individual efforts need to be for the team. Everyone has batted with a good strike rate, and when bowled, they have picked up a wicket. I wanted to bowl, but there was a cut on my finger. When we win, we need to concentrate more and not get carried away. As a skipper, I feel we are taking catches but letting go of a few chances as well. This is big tournament and the momentum can change anytime
