Noor Ahmad: Great way to finish the tournament. We did not have a good season but so good to finish the tournament this way. (on which wicket he liked the most) The third one - that was good. It was a bit faster and that's what I enjoyed about it. Everyone gave their best, still we tried our best and it's cricket, ups and downs happen, hopefully we will come back stronger.
Shubman Gill: I think the game pretty much went away from us in the powerplay, we never really came back. Chasing 230 is always a tricky target. Teams already eliminated have nothing to lose and they come out all guns blazing. We weren't able to stay calm under pressure and I think we gave in to pressure. It's very important to control runs in the middle overs. If you are not going to do that it's going to be challenging. That's where we were lacking in the last two games. (Mood in the dressing room) This one would be a hard pill to swallow for us. The bright side is that we have two or three games left so boys will be motivated to play in Mohali. Fortunately for me, going back to by hometown... played a lot of cricket there and it's going to be a really exciting.

First time Gujarat Titans have lost back to back games this season.
19:06 Local Time, 13:36 GMT, 19:06 IST: That's a clinical performance by Chennai Super Kings as they finish their campaign on a high. Earlier in the day, Ayush Mhatre gave them a brisk start with his cameo in the powerplay, while Conway anchored the innings and notched up a solid fifty in the middle-overs. Urvil Patel looked in pretty good touch, however, he was dismissed by Sai Kishore. Brevis played a superb knock of 57*(23) and as a result of his innings, CSK managed to post a massive total of 230. In reply, the Titans lost their in-form captain early, while Buttler couldn't get going either. Rutherford was dismissed within the powerplay as the Titans were pushed on the back foot further. Thereafter, the Titans kept losing wickets at regular intervals as the CSK bowlers choked them. Jadeja, Noor, Kamboj - all of them were amongst the wickets and it was a collective effort by them indeed. Stay around for the presentations..
