Moeen Ali was adjudged the Man of the Match in the game between Chennai Super Kings & Rajasthan Royals. Moeen scored 26 off 20 balls, and picked up 3 wickets, giving away just 7 runs in 3 overs. After winning the award, Ali said, " I feel it's a good wicket for the spinners and if you land the ball in the right areas you've always got a chance. My job here is to try and score as many runs for the team and get a good start.”

“When I went up the order, it wasn't any easy wicket and I'm pleased with both the departments. I thought as a team we played really well and everyone contributed. Once the left-handers came in I knew I had a good chance of bowling whenever the captain needs me.”
