With 16 needed off 12, the Knight Riders were still in control of the match but with the fall of Gambir and Yusuf Pathan did cause some scare in the visitors&#8217; camp. However, Das played a cameo to steer his team to its sixth win in IPL-5.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDas is the man-of-the-match for this game. It\u2019s not just about how you start, but more about how you finish the game. And Das did just that. He is a star in the making. A bright young talent with great future,\u201d said the skipper encouraging the youngster.<\/p>\n<p>Das on the hand thanked his captain saying that he has fortunate to have the support of Gambhir and other senior players of the team. \u201cI am quite confident about the way I am going. Hope to contribute in the matches to come,\u201d said a shy Das.<\/p>\n<p>Gambhir also praised Chennai Super Kings for fighting till the end. \u201cChennai fought well. All credit to them. They were defending a small total but made a game out of it,\u201d said Gambhir, adding that they need to play to their potential as there are still a lot games to go.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Chennai skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that the wicket wasn\u2019t letting them play big strokes. \u201cWe like playing big strokes but this wicket is not letting us play big strokes. It\u2019s not a bad wicket but then it does not suit us,\u201d said Dhoni, adding that it\u2019s important for them to take early wickets and if that does not happen, it will a problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chennai: It was a good gesture on part of skipper Gautam Gambhir who gave away his man-of-the-match award to young Debabrata Das for his four-ball 11 runs, citing that finishing the game was more important than giving a good start.
