IPL23 Match no 50 RCB vs DC this Match DC won by 7 wickets. Phil Salt (Player of the Match): "We spoke beforethe game about being positive and take them on.We saw how good they were in Bangalore whenthey had their tails up.The real strength of mine is when I get going Idon't really look to take my foot off the pedal toooften. We knew the wicket was quite slow andlow and we knew that realistically we would slowdown in the middle.I thought it was par. I thought we would have tobat really well to get there but the boys came outswinging and played really wel.Marsh came in and hit the second ball for six orsomething like that and it puts the bowlers on thebackfoot. He's a top player.David Warner (Delhi Capitals Captain): "That wasamazing. I thought 180 was probably par score.The ball started skidding nicely at the back end. Iwas confident restricting them to 180 if we comeOut with the intent led by Phil Salt to try chase thistotal down.We said from the outside that we wanted to gofor the target. Siraj and Hazlewood might havebowled the other overs well but that was Ourintention today. Siraj has been bowling extremelywell and he's their backbone. He takes earlywickets in the powerplay and if we take him on a little bit and bring back his length where a lotof his dismissals have been bowled and LB. Thatwould work in our favor. We were able to get to agood start in the first 6 anda great finish there bySalty and Rilee.Credit to the way the bowlers have bowled. Theywere fantastic, they defended 130 twice. Anrichisn't here one of the most experience but Ishantleading there and Khaleel which makes us astronger. Indian bowling component. With theexperience of Kuldeep and Axar as well. They are2 outstanding bowlers and we gota great team anda great momentum now.Its all about momentum and its all jammed atthe momnent We go on to Chennai now. We knowits gonna be a tough one down there. They'vegot some good momentum as well. I think we'vefound the right balance now at the right time." Rilee Rossouw (Delhi Capitals): "We bowled quitewell. It was a great result for us. I thought it wasa decent score. Warner and Salt were wonderfulup at the top. Then Marsh followed it really well. Icame up with the same intent and tried to knockoff the remaining runs. We are wonderful as agroup. It has been an amazing feeling. They arevery supportive even though not playing.It was a tricky pitch. It was gripping and turningearlier. I think Salt playeda blinder. He wasfantastic and the way he took on the bowlersin the fist six set the match for us. Otherwise, iwould have been a tough chase. The intent of can't lose anymore brings out thebest in us. We can't lose any game from here andthe freedom it gave us was the result you sawtonight. The way we played tonight no one will tellthat we lost 6 games or how many ever. We needto keep going and who knows we might be luckyto sneak into the playoffs." Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers BangaloreCaptain): "I felt it was pretty close. We walkedaway with a total of 180+ andat the halfway markit was close. There was a bit of dew and we haveto give credit to their batters.The dew came and our spinners couldn't comeinto the play. A little bit of dew and it hamperedOur plans. I felt that the pitch changed a bit as thematch progressed. When we batted it was quiteslow. At the end of the 12th over, we thought.was a good score. Obviously, you want one ot uieovers to go for 15-20 and get to 2O0. But they got off to a strong start and the base wasset. With the dew settling in, our bowlers weren'tin control of the proceedings. Their batters putour spinners under pressure. We gave a goodfoundation for Maxi to come at three. But verypleased to see Lomror the way he played. Goodtalent and finally, he showed what he has got.Very positive from him. We want someone atnumber 3 to score runs and that will be icing onthe cake. Delhi Capitals finally removethemselves from the number 10 spot in thepoints table with a thumping win over theRoyal Challengers Bangalore by 7 wickets!

IPL23 Match no 12 CSK vs MI this match CSK won by 7 wickets. That is the end of an amazing double-headerSaturday. While RR won the afternoon encounterbeating DC bya comfortable margin, CSK walkedpast MI in what was an one-sided affair underlights here at Wankhede.Ravindra Jadeja: "I think when we were bowlingit wasn't really spinning. Yeah, odd balls werespinning but it was going straight for the mostpart of it. I and Mitchell Santner were looking tobowl on right lines and lengths with the battersthey had. Here and there we could have gone forruns but it's okay It's a bit of mixed wickets here.Sometimes it's good for batting, sometimes it ispacey or sticky. We keep discussing with eachother and bowl accordingly. It's important tospeak to one another and support each other."Player of the Match: Ravindra Jadeja MS Dhoni (CSK Captain): "It feels good and alsonot to forget we lost Deepak in the first over. Itwas a big challenge. He has been our new ballbowler. Magala was playing his first game. Itwas bit of an issue how to shuffle the bowlersand who to bowl when. Good thing is that thespinners bowled very well. Initial 6-7 overs, itwasn't turning a lot They were able to play thebig shot. I feel it was a two-paced after that. Sospinners were able to use that in their favor. Fastbowlers came back nicely. Magala and Pretoriuscame back nicely. Overall its a very good effortafter losing one of your premium bowler. To comeafter losing one of your premium bowler. To comeback an drestrict them close to 160 is a very goodeffort.We believe in him (Tushar Deshpande). Whathappens is when you are new, you have adifferent sort of pressure and when you play IPLfor a few games and it feels like a comeback.I feel as cricketers its one of the worst feelingsto have. He hada very god domestic seasonand that helps. We are constantly talking to himabout what needs to be done. He is very goodwith execution. but in the last couple ofgames he strength. You wont be somebody who will beconsistently hitting sixes but you have the abilityto manipulate the field, use the pace of the bowlerand he is technically very sound. I said go andenjoy because that's what is needed. Don't taketoo much stress. Yes we are not able to give youthe first game but when the chance comes, we'llback you and I was very happy the way he batted.I think he was a bit disappointed the way he gotout which is always a good signal when a playersays I could have done slightly more.I feel all the games are important. The more you can manage. The first target is to win enoughgames to make into the qualifiers and thendepending on where you are standing on theleague's table. But that's far too ahead. Importantis to look at the problems in front of you and takeit one game at a time, try to do well, try to wingames and gather points."Active catch of the match award: Ravindra Jadeja(caught and bowled dismissal - Cameron Green)Longest six hit in the match: Shivam Dube Ajinkya Rahane (Chennai Super Kings): "RaviBhai, how are you? Really enjoyed. Igot to knowbefore the toss. Moeen was unwell and Flem(Stephen Fleming) told me that I was playing. Ihada good domestic season. That's mny strength,I wanted to back my strength, hold my shape,play my strokes, and not smash the balls hard.Before every game you have to think that you arein the game, you have to be ready. IPL is a lortournament andyou don't know when you argoing to geta game. I always enjoyed playing atthe Wankhede. Never playeda Test match here yet and would like to play. I know the groundwell.I think it is the important thing about Mahi bhaiand Flem (Stephen Fleming) is to they give youthe freedom. They told me to play my game,focus on your process and focus on your game.Luckily I was ready. I visualize myself and beprepared for my game. Thank You Ravi Bhai."Ajinkya Rahane gives the Orange Capto RutGaikwad. Rohit Sharma (Mumbai Indians Captain): "Welost our way in the middle. Didn't capitalize on thestart that we got. It was a gOod pitch and we were30-40 runs short the way we got the start butcouldn't capitalize in the middle overs. Gotta givecredit to their spinners as well, they bowled prettywell kept us under pressure and we were notableto respond.You need to try out different things, need toattack. You need to brave at the time. We've ga couple of guys who are young into the IPLplaying for the first time so gotta give some tinme can manage. The first target is to win enoughgames to make into the qualifiers and thendepending on where you are standing on theleague's table. But that's far too ahead. Importantis to look at the problems in front of you and takeit one game at a time, try to do well, try to wingames and gather points."Active catch of the match award: Ravindra Jadeja(caught and bowled dismissal - Cameron Green)Longest six hit in the match: Shivam Dube to them. They've got real talent as well. But it willtake some time. AIl we gotta do from our side isback them and show enough trust in their abilitywhich we are trying to do from our side.The senior guys need to step up starting with me.We know the nature of IPL. When it starts yougotta get some momentum towards and if youdon't its always tough and we are trying to findthe momentum. Its 2 games still. Notall lost herebut you are right. Some of the senior guys froour team need to step up with the bat.That's the nature of this tournament, you can wina few on the trot. Ifyou lose, it gets hard to getthat momentum. We want to come out of thatlosing streak, I wouldn't callita streak, its just 2games. You need to do a lot of things right whichwe are trying to figure in our changing room. Weare not able to execute in the middle. We need tocome out and take that opportunity and be braveenough to do it in the middle.We know we hada disappointing last seasonyou always start afresh. Even when we won th5 trophies, we never thought of that we won last year. Its always starting fresh. Every oppositionis quality. You have to be good on that particularday to win the games and beat the opposition. Itscrucial for us, what has happened has happenedthe last year. We can't change too much about itbut we can learn from what happened in these 2games. Bring it out and be more brave to bring itOut on the field."MS Dhoni won the toss and decided to putMumbai Indians into bat. Rohit Sharma andIshan Kishan gave the team a head start, adding38 runs in no time. Tushar Deshpande struck with a beauty as he nipped away to castle the stumpsof the MI skipper (21 off 13) in the 4th over.Kishan (32 off 21) continued to be aggressive andstitcheda quickfire 26 runs for the second wicketalongside Cameron Green (12 off 11), with MIscoring 61/1 in the powerplay.But it was where the game turned on its head asMSD introduced the spinners.

Jaddu finished with the figures of 4-0-20-3, while the Kiwi left-arm spinner finished with 4-0-28-2. Amidst this,Tilak Varma contributed with a handy 22 butcouldn't take the innings deeper.It was Tim David whose counter-attack took MIto a competitive total.

The number three batter Ajinky:Rahane came out of his blocks and creamedevery stroke he played. The Mumbaikar showedhis class and played an eye-pleasing knock.
