Both bowled really well. Can’t fault anything from our side. The second half of the tournament has been a lot of positives for our side. We just have to give ourselves the best chance. [On Prasidh for the 19th over] Sunil takes the responsibility. I hope Dre [Russell] is ok,” Eoin Morgan said in the post-match presentation ceremony.Morgan also pointed out that IPL 2021 has an abundance of top-class international cricketers and many young Indian players haven’t even been capped yet.”The whole tournament has an abundance of top-class international cricketers. Some of the local Indian guys haven’t even been capped yet. When Jadeja plays like that, similar to Sam Curran for England, I don’t think there’s a lot to do. [On holding back Varun Chakravarthy] All about matchups. Your bowlers need to bowl well enough to do that,” Morgan added.Chasing a target of 172, CSK top-order batsmen chipped with handy contributions but they wobbled towards the end before Jadeja pulled off the win with an 8-ball 22 which was studded with two fours and as many sixes to help his side reach 172 for 8 in 20 overs.Faf du Plessis (44), Ruturaj Gaikwad (40) and Moeen Ali (32) were the other contributors.
