Ashwin was awarded the Player of the Match for his all-round performance. Â Ashwin said after the win, "It's been a great day for us. We have finished the league stage in a very positive way. I opened several times in practice matches. Batting in the nets. I know I can't strike balls with strength. So I keep looking for new ways to score runs. I know my role in bowling as well. Sometimes it happens that the batsmen don't take risks against you, so you get fewer wickets. 'Â
At the same time, if we talk about the match, CSK won the toss and elected to bat first and scored 150 runs for the loss of 6 wickets thanks to the brilliant innings of Moeen Ali (93). Rajasthan achieved this target in 19.4 overs for the loss of 5 wickets. Rajasthan will now take on Gujarat Titans in Qualifier-1, while Chennai have already been knocked out of the playoff race.
