Kaushik Gandhi | CSG captain: The win was important, also it gives us momentum going into the business end of the tournament but having said that there are a lot of areas we can improve. We didn't finish off well with the ball in their innings and probably one wicket too many in the chase. My son and wife are here. We are here in a bubble and I know how tough it is to manage for her with a kid - so it is for her and the kid [on the kiss he blew after reaching fifty].

Siddharth | Man of the Match: I was pretty excited and wanted to do well in this game. Was a great experience learning from legends like Ricky Ponting at Delhi Capitals and other international players there. It helped me here.

M Siddharth is the Man of the Match for his four-fer.

J Kousik (Madurai Panthers stand-in captain for Chaturved): Batsmen need to take the responsibility, and every time the bowlers can't carry the burden. It's high time the batting stepped up. Every alternate game we have struggled with the batting collapse so that needs to click. Chaturved has a bit of a shoulder niggle but he should be okay soon. I enjoyed captaining for the first time since junior cricket.

22:59 Local Time, 17:29 GMT, 22:59 IST: Chepauk with this win move to the second spot in the table. The chase was set up by their skipper Kaushik Gandhi with others chipping in. The total wasn't big enough to threaten them and Madurai didn't have the firepower with the ball to pose a threat. At one stage, CSG may have looked to finish the game earlier than they eventually did but they will happily take the two points. Third win in a row for CSG and they are well on course for a spot in the playoffs. Do stay tuned for the post-match stuff...
