Ashish Nehra is the Man of the Match
MS Dhoni: I think you have to hold onto your nerves, that's what is important. The last ball was not in the slot and Bravo probably didn't like it himself. We were probabloy 10-15 runs short. He is good. At times he gets injured, but he bowls well. It's good to see him the way he bowls, he has been with us for the last couple of seasons. He is one of the few Indian bowlers who bowl effortlessly at decent pace. It was an important win as we had not played here for a long time. The fans come here and support, they want us to win but they still support the other team as well if they play good shots.
JP Duminy: It's unbelievable. It's a game of small margin, but proud of the boys. We didn't have large partnerhsips but still got close. One or two balls more and we would have won it. The gameplan was try to take wickets, we knew they will come out hard against us. All credit to the spinners for pulling things back in the middle. I am feeling good. Obviously, we would have liked to win today, but it's just the first game. We will take a lot of heart from this game. The turning point was that we didn't have any partnerships and that's why getting that close was a valiant effort
Chennai Super Kings won by 1 run and Delhi Daredevils will be very disappointed with this.
