Scorecard - Chennai vs Rajasthan

Quotes

R.Jadeja (Man of the Match) - 'It is a ground where I enjoy bowling and the pitch was a bit slow with help for the slow bowlers. I was just focusing on doing the basics right. He (Dhoni) kept telling me that we can do it if we can get it to the last over which happened eventually.'

MS Dhoni - 'I thought they bowled really well at the death that stretched our chase a bit after a good start by Smith and Faf. The blow by Jadeja in the 19th over helped as it meant we had to score much lesser in the final over. Our bowling and fielding were really good. The support has been great here and I am thankful to them for it.'

Shane Watson: It was a par score. The wicket was slow and low which we expected. MS Dhoni continues to do it again. He has the experience as well. Me opening the batting depends on the opposition and conditions. More than what I score, What the team scores matters. Chennai is a quality team.
