Jamie Overton reflected on playing at Chennai Super Kings home ground (Chepauk). He also praised and thanked the crowd for their support.
“Getting two points against a very strong Mumbai side gives us confidence going into the upcoming games. Chepauk has one of the most passionate crowds I have played in. When I first came here last year, I remember saying in an interview that it was almost louder than a Premier League game. They are among the best crowds; they follow us everywhere. It is amazing to get all the support here, and I am loving my time in Chennai.”
Former Chennai Super Kings player and one of the greatest all-rounders of all time, Ravichandran Ashwin praised CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad for regaining his form.
“Everyone was talking about his form. This innings was a result of the previous game. It was a challenging wicket, the GT game, and the time he spent in the middle and the knock he played, you cannot compare it with the likes of Vaibhav Suryavanshi or Abhishek Sharma. On wickets like these, this is how you should play. Ruturaj played with a great tempo in this game and read the conditions well. His role was important; if CSK had lost one or two more wickets, the pressure would have increased on their batting line-up. He took responsibility, and the way he played, CSK are becoming more dangerous with every match.”
