That said, let’s take a look at who said what after GT vs CSK, Match 67.

CSK captain MS Dhoni 

“It's good. I won't say it was housefull today, but a decent crowd. It's a very big stadium. We didn't have a good season, but was good to finish on a winning note. It was one of those perfect performances in the bowling department and the batting department. We haven't caught very well, but this was one game where our fielding and catching was good. It (whether he will play next season) depends. I have 4-5 months to decide, there's no hurry to decide what needs to be done. 

Every year it's 15% more effort to keep the body fit. You have to be at your best, this is top level cricket. It's professional cricket. It's not always performance you can count on. If cricketers start retiring because of their performances, some of them will retire at the age of 22. What is important to see is how much hunger you have and how fit you are. 

How much you can contribute to the team. Whether the team needs you or not, so I have enough time. Will go back to Ranchi. I haven't been home for a while, so I will enjoy a few bike rides and then decide. I am not saying I am done, not saying I am coming back at the same time. I have the luxury of time. Will think about it and then decide.

When we started the season, the first four games were in Chennai out of the first six games. We decided to bat second because of the dew, but I felt the wicket was good for batting in the first innings. We batted under pressure in the second innings and that confidence got sucked away from the batters and it became slightly difficult. I was worried about the batting department because at the end of the day you have to score runs. 

Not everybody is contributing. We can put runs on the board, but there are few holes we will like to fill. One of the most important things was when Ruturaj comes back next season, he doesn't need to worry about too many things. He needs to maybe fit in one role from the eleven. You feel old (when someone like Suryavanshi touches your feet.) 

Not to forget I have Andre (Siddarth) in my team. I sit on the last seat and he sits next to me. We Were just having a chat and I asked him how old are you. He is exactly 25 years younger than me, that makes me feel I am seriously old.”

GT captain Shubman Gill 

“I think the game pretty much went away from us in the powerplay, we never really came back. Chasing 230 is always a tricky target. Teams already eliminated have nothing to lose and they come out all guns blazing. We weren't able to stay calm under pressure and I think we gave in to pressure. It's very important to control runs in the middle overs. 

If you are not going to do that it's going to be challenging. That's where we were lacking in the last two games. (Mood in the dressing room) This one would be a hard pill to swallow for us. The bright side is that we have two or three games left so boys will be motivated to play in Mohali. Fortunately for me, going back to my hometown... I played a lot of cricket there and it's going to be really exciting.”
