Chennai Super Kings beat KTK by 11 runs.You don't want to win all games with no trouble. You want some tough games that test your middle-order, lower middle-order and your bowlers. I think we are now ready for the big games.
With 150-odd runs, we were look at not giving many runs in the first six over. The game was even till the 10th over of the Kochi innings. But then the ball lost its sheen and it was hard to play shots against the quality spinners that we have in our line-up.
Man-of-the-match Saha said,I was initially looking to rotate the strike and once set go for my big shots.KTK skipper Parthiv Patel admits that they were late in go faster.
I thought 153 could be chased. But then we were late in accelerating. Our bowlers did a good job in confine Chennai to 152. Our plan was to keep wickets in hand due to the slow nature of the wicket,Parthiv said.
