David Miller, Sai Sudharsan, Abhishek Sharma, Abdul Samad, Shubman Gill? Whose batting sparkled most?
A two-paced Chepauk strip on which spinners always come into play has been Chennai Super Kings' 17-year template. Thus, current skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad finds no reason to deviate from that after a five-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals in a low-scoring IPL encounter in Chennai on Sunday.
Venkatesh and Shreyas unleashed their inner beasts, tearing apart the SRH bowling attack.
After the game, Mhambrey pointed out the contrast in the batting conditions in both innings and said in a video posted by Olympics.com.
Punjab Kings' batting sensation Ashutosh Sharma had the self-belief to take his team over the line, though Gerald Coetzee ended his stay at the crease to take Mumbai Indians to their third win of the ongoing Indian Premier League season.
Not only did Ashwin take three wickets, he also kept the runs in check. While his fellow bowlers leaked runs, he bowled a tight spell -- 3 for 24 off 4 -- to strangle the DC batters.
The likes of Andre Russell and Harshit Rana found it tough to describe the feeling of being IPL champions, even as they praised Nayar.
Gaikwad had scores of 15, 1, 46 and 26 in the first four games before striking big against KKR on Monday, which was his first half-century of the current season.
No half-centuries were scored in the Eliminator, with Yashavi Jaiswal registering the highest score -- a 30-ball 45.
Sai Kishore has been part of the IPL for nearly six years but had played just five games before Sunday's game against the Punjab Kings.

Travis Head raised his career graph a few notches up in 2023, but the Australian batter understands that staying at that level is a challenging task, and the first stop for him in that journey is the upcoming T20 World Cup.
Rajasthan Royals will face a stern test of character as they look to arrest a shocking slide in a do-or-die IPL Eliminator against an in-form RCB.
Set 183 for victory, Andrew Balbirnie produced a stunning knock to take Ireland over the line with five wickets and a ball to spare in front of a sell-out crowd.
Vaibhav Arora or Mitchell Starc? Whose bowling was the highlight?
Shahrukh, who was dismantling the RCB attack with his big hitting, was left speechless by Siraj's perfectly executed yorker. The delivery, clocked at a searing 140 kph, possessed just enough late reverse swing to find the gap between bat and pad. It sent Shahrukh's middle and off stumps flying, bringing a screeching halt to his blistering knock.

'Our target was 180, but Rishabh was confident and he single-handedly batted very well in the last 5 overs.'
Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul was all praise for Marcus Stoinis' match-winning 63-ball-124 not out against Chennai Super Kings as he felt that the home team's score of 210 for 4 was at least 30 runs above-par on that particular Chepauk track.
Ravindra Jadeja's superb all-rounder show powered Chennai Super Kings to a thumping 28-run victory against Punjab Kings.
