Virat Kohli is the Man of the Match 

VIrat Kohli: Doesn't feel good now. Would have liked to cross the line. Didn't plan it, didn't feel at any stage that I would get to that hundred. The opportunity came at the end to strike a few. Gayle should be back for the next game, we have missed him but have done well with the bat. Bowling's execution isn't up to the mark. The wicket was slowish and we had to change the pace and keep the ball on the body. It has to be in a winning cause. These things (Orange Cap and the ton) don't matter. Not having that winning feeling about the team is never a good feeling.

Suresh Raina: It's a good win. I thought it will be an enough total for us when Virat got a ton but Smith started well and DK (Karthik) finished well. We bowled well in the first six overs but then Virat played well in the middle. Didn't lose focus, had partnerships and credit to our batting unit. Smith is batting well at the top, did so for CSK too. At the moment, we are not sure about Finch's fitness. We will see about him in Delhi
