Ranchi, Bangalore beat Chennai by 5 wickets in a thriller
Scorecard - Chennai Vs Bangalore
AB De Villiers (Man of the Match) - 'It was a difficult track to bat on and I was backing myself to hit with the turn. I was lucky to connect with some of those shots though I was a bit foolish at times. I should have stayed on till the end but good to see Yuvraj see us through.'
Virat Kohli - 'It's a great win for us especially with the way the track played in the 2nd innings. The guys showed a lot of character as we hung in though the run rate mounted. AB played a superb cameo and Yuvraj in the form he is in was able to do is. Myself and Gayle backed ourselves to bat on to set a base for the chase.'
MS Dhoni: We knew had the game progressed, it will slow down further. I think the spinners did that well and that's why it was a close game. The best thing about stats is there is a pattern. Overall we had a good game of cricket. When you drop catches, you lose the match. Apart from that it was a clinical performance. They bowled well especially at the death because of which we lost 4-5 runs.
