After the win, MS Dhoni, CSK captain said as quoted by Cricbuzz: “Whatever said and done, last phase of my career, important to enjoy it. It feels good to be here. They have given a lot of love and affection. They always stay late to listen to me. Not getting a lot of chance to bat – I’m not complaining. You need time to pick his action (Pathirana). He has got variation, he has got good pace. We have seen with Malinga – someone who has an awkward action and who is very consistent with line and length – it’s difficult to score off him. Definitely he has been a find. I was hesitant to bat second. Had the feeling there won’t be much dew. It was slightly cloudy.

The spinners, once they came in, they bowled a very good length. Overall the middle overs was the setup. Fast bowlers bowled very well in the last few overs. I always tell them that first preference of field setting is with you. Still they didn’t give me best catch award. I was in such a wrong position. Just because we wear gloves, people think it’s easy. I felt it was a fantastic catch. Long time back I still remember one game – Rahul Dravid was keeping and he caught one like that. Once you get old, that’s the only time you get experience. Unless you’re Sachin paaji and start playing at 16-17. Definitely old, can’t shy away from that,” he concluded.
