Not dismissing Sammy's beautiful batting par agar Shreyas ne Yuzi ko ruka kar nahi rakha hota toh itna bhi nahi banta

Yes maybe true.

He kept Yuzi for Dhoni.

But I think Sam played 2 overs of Chahal also.

@bold Mein yeh reason approve karti hu please

Big smile on Ricky Ponting's face as PBKS knock CSK out of the playoffs race. The home side the first team to suffer that fate this season. Some revenge for all those years back to that special day in Dharamsala when MS' heroics took CSK into the next round. Chasing 191 at Chepauk was never going to be easy but the openers gave their side a brisk start and Shreyas continued his great away form with a fine innings. His partnership with Prabhsimran kept them within touching distance. Even though CSK took a few cheap wickets, a cameo from Shashank made it easier and Shreyas basically ended the game with that 20-run over in the 17th. CSK to their credit took it to the last over but the result was never in doubt. Again CSK's spinners - Noor and Jadeja were ineffective and that proved to be a major difference in the end between the two teams

even thala isnt enough to save it now

MS Dhoni: "I think the batting, yes it was the first time we put enough runs on the board, but I feel it was slightly short of a par score. It's demanding on the batsmen but we needed slightly more. The partnership between Curran and Brevis was fantastic. I think we need to take our catches. I think Curran is a fighter, we all know. Unfortunately whenever we have tried to give him a chance so far, it was a slow wicket but today's wicket was the best one we had at home this season. [On Brevis] I think it's momentum in the middle order and he's a very good fielder and he has good power so he can hit good balls for boundaries. He brings energy in the field too. We needed that fresh air, someone not caught up in the spiral. He can be an asset going forward."

Prabhsimran Singh: "[On the opening stand with Priyansh Arya] We both are hitting well so sometimes it happens that the wicket looks like it'll play slow so we took our time at the start, so when he got out I took the onus of scoring runs. When we had our camps, we were told we'll open together so we bonded well from then only and we opened together from that time. I wasn't thinking too much about the run rate because I knew Shreyas is there, so if I miss out, I knew he'd hit a few boundaries. [On his role and form] I always thought that even if I get 35-40 runs in a winning cause it's good, I don't need to score 70-80 or 100. And I am just trying to carry on when I get set. I would like to give the credit to Ricky Ponting. Even when things are going bad if the coach or captain go and speak to the players, it really helps. Yes, now we are looking at qualification, and we are doing our best to do that."
