Meanwhile, Samson and Akeal were the two stars for CSK on the night of the El Classico. While Samson hit a century, Akeal picked up four wickets and was the wrecker-in-chief. 

"The wicket was offering both, some were swinging and it was gripping as well. So for me, it was just trying to use the conditions as best as possible," Hosein said after the win.

Hosein also confessed that he had learnt a lot from Dwayne Bravo.

"I think one thing that sticks with me is what Dwayne Bravo said. He said as bowlers and as spinners and guys who operate in the powerplay, you’re going to get hit," he added.
