23:28 (IST)

That's all for today. Hope you have enjoyed the match and our coverage. We'll see you tomorrow for yet another day of IPL action. 

23:26 (IST)

Josh Hazlewood is the player of the match

"I put in a lot of hardwork and learnt a lot every game. It's hard to learn since there's a different team every game, but it's satisfying. Getting Roy was a big wicket, and it was good to put the pressure back on them early. The wicket offered a little bit, it was on the slower side and a little low as well. We are happy we are applying whatever we are doing in the practice. It's good to learn from DJ Bravo over the last few weeks too, and it's been a great learning curve for me."

23:24 (IST)

MS Dhoni: Of course means a lot(qualifying for play-offs). In the last post match presentation, I had said, we want to come strong. It was emotional. A lot of things didn't go our way. What's important is you don't give excuses and that's what we have done. The boys have taken responsibility when it comes to batting, bowling and fitness. The players and support staff deserve the credit. The bounce of wicket was very different, something that should come to knee height was coming to shin height. So the batsmen adjusted to hitting it straight. The bowlers did well with their variations. As a bowling unit, they bowled the right length. I can proudly say on behalf of CSK that we are really proud of the fans.

23:16 (IST)

Du Plessis: (On his dismissal) Bad execution and not enough dry gloves, I am going to bring more gloves next game. I did work before the tournament to make sure I could run and I love doing it, don't want to miss the catches, love doing the donkey work of running from long-on to long-off. The balance of our team has been very good this year. We've been batting aggressively and we bat long so there are batters coming out even if we lose wickets. With the ball Moeen has been a good addition as well. We've got Jadeja who bowls in the middle. But it's the balance of the side that has been crucial.

23:08 (IST)

Kane Williamson: "Not enough runs. We were still competitive. It was fantastic, and it is important we keep bringing that. The cameos from boys in the lower-middle order gave us something so we need to look at how to win games. It is hard when you end up on the losing side. Chennai played really well. It looked challenging and variable, and in the end if you can inch out another 10-15 runs."

23:07 (IST)

And with this win, CSK have officially qualified for the playoffs. SRH are completely out of the top four race.

CSK endured a difficult last season but they got things right in 2021. Dhoni was struggling but today's knock with give him a lot of confidence.

CSK restrict SRH to 134/7! A decent last over from Chahar, concedes just a single boundary. The slower one was picked up early by Rashid and lapped over short fine leg. There is a slower bouncer and a yorker as well. The yorker is off the last ball, Rashid stays in his crease and looks to flick but gets an outside edge to short third man for a single. Chahar surprisingly opts for a review but replays show it came off the bat. There are just four singles and a dot off the rest five. 8 runs off the final over.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the historic pink-ball Test between Australia and India at the Metricon Stadium in Gold Coast, Queensland. India and Australia renew their rivalry once again for the first time since 2006, and India are playing their second Test in a matter of months after not having played one for seven years.

Lest we forget, this is only the second pink-ball Test in the history of the women's game, although the Aussies will have the advantage of some experience, having played the inaugural one against England in 2017.

Virat Kohli: "We have come back strongly in two games with the ball and it is a great sign. We know if you can hold your nerve with the ball you're going in the right direction. In both games the opponents were 56/0 in the powerplay, but in both games we took wickets to ensure the opposition does not get away. In batting also, we have got a few good opening starts. Devdutt and I have been focused on giving the team good starts so that middle-order with AB, Bharat and Maxwell can make more. Boys have stepped up, so that's been key for us."

23:06 (IST)

Sanju Samson: "We got a great start but couldn't capitalise. We went in with intent, also the wicket was two-paced and our batters kept mistiming it. Our middle order needs some confidence. Need to keep on believing and fighting till the last match."
