🏏IPL 2023 - Final: GT vs CSK on 29/05/2023 at 7:30 PM IST🏏 - Page 72

Devon Conway: (On his strategy) I think just positive intent, swing for the hills, It has been great batting with Rutu, such a clean hitter of the ball. Our partnership has worked really well, left-right combination and we enjoy our game together. I think it has been great, the environment here is really great. Happy that we are heading in the right direction and great to be part of this group.

Deepak Chahar: Every time, we had a discussion, he (Rayudu), kept telling me that I am going to win the final. He had the belief! When you are playing, you just want to contribute. It was a simple plan. Me and Rayudu were discussing, whenever we play, we will give our best and win the title.

Ruturaj Gaikwad: This one was more special because how last year went for us. To come back in style, to win games at Chepauk and to win away games. The way everyone contributed through the season. Jinks, Conway.. Rayudu wasn't getting balls. Would like to dedicate the win to Rayudu. Even today we were talking about having a good start. With wickets in hand, we thought we'll easily chase down 12-13 an over in the end.

Yesss.. rather easier

Rain worked against CSK nd coz of DLS higher target than in 20 over match.

Dwayne Bravo: It has been good, very happy with the team and this journey. Got to give credit to this team. We are all happy and proud to see these young bowlers take on the pressure. (On Tushar Deshpande) Happy with his progress, enjoyed working with him and all the other guys. I hope my best friend Kieron Pollard is watching, we have some catching up to do.

Stephen Fleming: We have like 20-odd players and 15 coaching staff. It's a caravan of people but at the end of the day, you're all just sitting and watching helplessly. ( On developing players) He's (Pathirana) been massive. We have been a little bit short in the bowling department so Tushar fronted up. We have enough talent there with Chahar, Simarjeet and a few others. With Pathirana, the backend all of a sudden became a weapon for us.

Mike Hussey: Can’t take much credit for that, but what a phenomenal game. Credit to GT for the way they fought. Jaddu did enough in the end, thankfully. (On MS Dhoni) He’s an amazing human being, the biggest strength is taking the pressure off the young guys. You saw a good example of that in the qualifier with Senapathi, he told him to calm down and he got us that big run out. Tactically very smart, and he and Stephen compliment each other very well. That;s the benefit of experience, they are so cool and calm. Some of those shots from Rayudu, I don’t think many can play slower balls like that.

Wow !! What an insane game !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This one is for the books and history !!

Jaddu ..... The way Mahi lifted him .. hayee.... Pure love ❤️

The broadcaster shows replays of Jadeja jumping onto Dhoni who picks him up. Such an emotional moment. Local boy Jadeja hugs his wife under the fireworks. Dhoni has a smile on his face and celebrates with his boys in yellow. Dhoni is yet to speak at the post-match presentation.
