11:38pm And that will be all from us for tonight. We hope you enjoyed our coverage and we will be back tomorrow as the Punjab Kings clash with the Delhi Capitals in another crunch playoff-race contest. Until then, from Ranjith, Sudeep and myself (Shashwat), goodbye and take care!

Noor Ahmad, Player of the Match: It was a superb win, really happy with the work we did as a team. Happy with my bowling and well done to Dewald Brevis, and the way we finished at the end, it was great. I focus to get the purple cap, but just wanted to deliver and contribute for my team - that is how it works for me. The nick from Raghuvanshi (was my favourite wicket tonight). I just try to use the length well and that is what works for me now.

MS Dhoni, CSK captain: (On the emotions after winning a few games) Few? This is just the third game we have won (laughs). There were a few things that did not go our way. You could get emotional about it, talk about the pride factor but you have to be practical about it. just concentrating about where the 25 players could fit. Want to be competitive but you also want answers - which batter can fit where, which bowler can bowl where, according to the conditions and all. When we started, hardly anyone was scoring. Good to see the batters have intent, important to back yourself and play the shots that you think are your shots. These are the players that are part of our squad right now, so we have an opportunity test them. We are out of the tournament, so you give them a chance, see how they react. It is the approach, the mental toughness that you want to check. The most technically-correct batter does not always score the runs, if you have good awareness…there is a chance to be consistent. Thanks to Brevis, he gave us that luxury (to take it deep). Did not want to give wickets to Sunil and Varun. It was holding for the spinners, but for the pacers, it was not that great and difficult for them to get away. Not to forget that I was the last batter, the tension becomes a lot (if I get out), so rotating strike (gets tougher). He (Dube) got two or three sixes and that brings the run-rate down. (On the crowd support) That is the love and affection I have gotten throughout. Not to forget I am 42 - I have played a long time. A lot of them don't know when it is going to be my last time (smiles), so they want to come and see me play. There is no escaping the fact (that I am in the last phase of my career). After this IPL gets over, I have to work hard for another 6-8 months to see if my body can take this pressure. Nothing to decide now but the love and affection I have seen is excellent.

Ajinkya Rahane, KKR captain: It was a really tough (pill to swallow and lose). We were 10-15 short, 185-195 would have been an ideal total (on this pitch). Bowlers bowled really well, but tough to be on the losing side. (On if the 30-run over was the difference) Absolutely. In this format, it is bound to happen. One over here and there can change the momentum. They (Brevis and Dube) took their chances and it paid off. All about being brave and they were really brave. No complaints at all, the bowlers tried their best. (On how they approach the next few games) Pretty simple. Try to win two out of two, and then see what happens from there.

Dewald Brevis: Forever grateful. Want to thank God for giving me the talent to do this. It was an interesting innings, a few wickets fell quickly. The conditions, if you look at it, you have to sum it up as quickly as you can and then go at it. (On how he is trying to be consistent) Just to keep enjoying it, to play how I am playing and staying true to myself. I know for a fact that I am going to do this through the longer innings as well, so just be myself. (On the IPL experience) It has been incredible. The fans are incredible. It is great cricket, lots of fun, a really high level. (On coming into the middle of a season) It made me very hungry for this. If I look back to a few weeks, I was sitting on the couch watching games and wanted to be there. Trusted in the process and God's plan, just wanted to contribute and have fun.

11:14pm A tense, tense finish. At one stage, it felt CSK would not last this deep, especially when their batters threw their bats around in the powerplay, scored boundaries but also lost plenty of wickets. Then, for a while, it felt that CSK would not need to take this game this deep, with Brevis tearing apart the KKR bowling attack and Arora in particular. But like all classic cricket contests, there was a twist when Brevis fell trying to further up the ante. And that left Dube and Dhoni as protagonists.

Dhoni took his time (of course he did), and he ensured he was there to face the final over. Dube, during that phase, did incredibly well to pop a few over the fence and keep the required run-rate well within reach. He could not close it out, but his captain could. Prior to that entire sequence, two youngsters stood out for their stroke-making: Urvil on debut, and Brevis, whose onslaught lasted longer and in the end, was perhaps the point of difference.

KKR, on the other hand, will feel they missed an opportunity. They had CSK five down inside the powerplay but lost the plot through the middle overs, despite having an attack capable of maximizing these conditions. They now have to rely on a whole lot of other results, while also being in even more must-win territory, with a lot needing to align for a playoff berth.

Will that decision come back to haunt Dhoni and CSK?

2 off 5. Surely CSK will not mess this up from here?

Right. Here we go again. Dhoni on strike for the start of the final over of a game. 8 needed off 6. Russell to bowl, and he can pull rabbits out of hats. Dhoni has the experience, but he also has 10 off 15 tonight

8 off 7 now. Surely this is a free hit for Noor, and a brief to play in even numbers?

10 off 8. Noor is the new batter in, and Dhoni has a chat to him straightaway. Dhoni will ideally want to be on strike for the last over. Does that mean Noor has two balls to swing for the hills? Or do they try and take two singles to leave themselves eight for the final over? KKR, of course, will want another wicket here to further tighten the screw
