PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Shikhar Dhawan

That's a wrap to today's IPL coverage. After a nail-biting finish in the tournament opener, we've had three rather dull games in a row. Tonight's one being the most one-sided of them all. Let's hope that changes soon and it could, tomorrow itself. A big game as the Chennai Super Kings gear themselves up to host the Kolkata Knight Riders at Chepauk. It's the first home game for Dhoni's men in 3 years and therefore, expect a crackling atmosphere. We'll be up nice and early for the coverage. Do join us for all the entertainment. Till then, this is Hariprasad signing off on behalf of my mates Pradeep, Rishi, Pratyush, Sriram and our scorer Siva. Cya!

Shikhar Dhawan, Man of the Match: "I enjoy playing long innings. It benefits the team, it benefits me. Trying to stretch the good form as long as possible and score big runs for as long as I can. I've been playing more aggressively since South Africa series and the Sri Lanka series, and not just in this IPL. So I'm just continuing with that formula, and I'm happy with it. We have a very balanced team, which is the strength of our side, and that is the key. We have started the tournament on a good note, and hopefully that'll help us and give us the momentum for the rest of the tournament."

Kane Williamson: "No doubt we missed Davey (Warner). He's been a fantastic player for a lot of years. Good to see everyone stepping up. Guys were great on the field and all did their roles well. It was nice to see people step up well with both bat and ball. All the bowlers certainly played their part. We got wickets at key times, but it was important we fielded well. We took some really good catches. A team effort. Yes, there are small areas we can still improve. (On bowling a lot of short balls) It wasn't a planned thing, the surface was such that the short ball was coming on nicely. There was something for the pacers and the spinners while the batsmen were also to score runs. A fair surface actually. (On Dhawan's innings) I had the best seat in the house, he hit it really well. The intent was great from ball one. Saha also showed intent from the start. Hopefully we can keep it up in the coming games as well."

Siddarth Kaul: "It's a pretty good feeling to win the game. I was working hard in the domestic season and in the nets as well. Glad, it came good today. Hitting the right areas was the plan for me. It was a small total but we had great experience in the batting and they played well (Shikhar and Williamson). We are missing him (David Warner), but the players are coping up with the loss and they know what to do exactly. I am looking forward to the next game."

Ajinkya Rahane: "We thought 126 was on the lower side. When we were batting we thought 160 would be a great total. We did quite well as a bowling unit, but the Sunrisers were excellent with the ball. Sanju (Samson) and I tried to back our game but lost too many wickets in the middle, and that's where we lost the game. I think the lack of one big partnership is what cost us. Even one partnership would have given us a more competitive total. I'm very unhappy with the dropped catch. I work very hard on my fielding during practice, but it's a part and parcel of the game - you have some bad days. It's the first game, and we have to learn from our mistakes and not repeat them in future."

23:06 Local Time: A very one-sided contest in the end. 125 was never going to be enough anyway but the way Dhawan played, made it a mockery. He was dropped on 0 though by the usually safe Rahane and the Royals will regret it badly. Not that the visitors would have won if that was taken but certainly, might have stretched the game close perhaps. As things panned out, Dhawan continued on his merry ways to smash an unbeaten half-century, keeping up with his fab form that's started since last June. The win though, was set up by SRH's bowlers who were exceptional on a track that was two-paced. The RR batsmen also didn't help their cause by not reading the surface well. A total of around 145-150 would have been more than handy on this pitch but wickets at regular intervals hurt them bad.

15.5

D Kulkarni to Dhawan, FOUR, crunchy blow to end the game! Shortish and sits up nicely for Dhawan who rocks back to slam the pull over mid-wicket. Blazed away to the fence and with that, the Sunrisers have stormed to a win in their season opener

15.4

D Kulkarni to Dhawan, no run, another dot! Dhawan was moving around in the crease and then gets across the stumps, Kulkarni though just keeps his calm to bowl a pinpoint wide yorker. Just bordering on the tramline but that's fine

15.3

D Kulkarni to Dhawan, no run, back of a length around off, Dhawan flat-bats it hard but straight to mid-off. Ah, this is taking a bit longer

15.2

D Kulkarni to Dhawan, no run, good slower ball, shortish in length and Dhawan was well early into the shot before deciding to let it pass

15.1

D Kulkarni to Dhawan, no run, short of a length and very wide outside off, Dhawan tries to reach it with a flashy cut but misses

Dhawal Kulkarni [2.0-0-14-0] is back into the attack

Just a blow away are SRH. Who is going to do that is the question

14.6

D Arcy Short to Williamson, no run, a bit short and around off, Williamson stays back and crunches it towards cover, cannot pick the gap and seems a bit frustrated with himself

14.5

D Arcy Short to Williamson, no run, floated up around leg, Williamson gets across a bit and paddles it to short fine leg

14.4

D Arcy Short to Dhawan, 1 run, another skiddy half-tracker around off, Dhawan cuts it hard towards point where the fielder cannot make a clean stop

14.3

D Arcy Short to Dhawan, no run, flatter and shorter around off, Dhawan chops the cut towards point

Right then, Dhawan has got the strike back

14.2

D Arcy Short to Williamson, 1 run, floated up outside leg, very full and Williamson flicks it away to deep mid-wicket

14.1

D Arcy Short to Dhawan, 1 run, tossed up nicely around off, Dhawan was looking for that booming shot to end the game. Ends up mistiming it down the ground to long-on
