When we started we were little under pressure. Mishy bhai got us into the game. Bowlers did a great job to restrict them to 136. We like to talk it into the ground, take one match at a time. He's a great Indian player we're trying to groom (Lalit Yadav). Can do wonders on pitches like these. What we've learnt is if you keep wickets in hand you can chase any target.

- Winning captain Rishabh Pant

23:37 (IST), Apr, 20

Totally opposite to Wankhede, feeling great to win in Chennai, feels good when you can beat a team like Mumbai Indians, the confidence level will naturally go high. We knew that it would be tough for them when the ball gets wet, the spinners would find it hard, wanted to keep the partnerships going, strung together a good stand with Lalit (Yadav), a bit disappointed at not having finished it off. But glad that we ended up winning the game, the way we played, I think we deserved to win.

- Orange cap holder Shikhar Dhawan

23:36 (IST), Apr, 20

After the start we got we should have batted better in the middle overs. It is happening time and again. We aren't able to capitalize on our starts and we need to understand as a batting unit. But you have to give credit to the Delhi bowlers, they kept it tight and kept taking wickets. We knew dew would come in but we have seen that it's not all that difficult to grip the ball in the last few games. Dew isn't the factor, we need to play smart cricket to win games which we didn't do today. [On his injury] It's only a niggle. It should be fine.

- Losing captain Rohit Sharma

Amit Mishra, Shikhar Dhawan guide Delhi Capitals to six-wicket win

With the win, Delhi also snapped out of their 5-match losing streak against Mumbai. Defending 137 on a sluggish track, Mumbai fought till the final over but Lalit along with Hetmyer took Delhi across the finish line with 5 balls to spare in a nervy chase. In-form Shikhar Dhawan added crucial 45 runs at the top while Steve Smith also cracked a decent 33. With the win, Delhi also moved to the second spot on the points table. Earlier, Amit Mishra's 4 for 24 restricted Rohit Sharma and Co. to 137 for 9 after they opted to bat first.
