Samson\u2019s knock ensured that CSK chased down 156 with 15 balls remaining and are at ten points, which is just two points away from the crowded top five in the points table. \u201cI think even initially, after the 2nd and 3rd game, Flem and myself were positive, we were closer to what we were last year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSanju had come along, and the bowling was doing well. We then got a couple of wins, and everyone started to gel together,\u201d Gaikwad said after the match ended at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On Samson\u2019s knock, where timing and power made for a fantastic combination, Gaikwad was effusive in his praise. \u201cOn the batting side, more than grateful to have Sanju after the tournament he had in the WC, he's our backbone. \u201cBut it's the bowlers who do the job. Akeal and Jamie come and silently do the job. Anshul is someone who does his job silently. He had a bad game today, but they've all come well together,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Gaikwad signed off by praising Kartik Sharma for hitting an impressive 41. \u201cI think the skillset was already there; there was no such development, just that he needed some momentum. We were also chasing big targets, and he didn't get time. Last match, he got some time, he can play an all-around game and hit the pockets well.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
