In all praise for the 'Captain Cool', Gavaskar, who does the commentary, said, "Players like him come once in a century, not even once in a generation."
However in the match, CSK were on the losing side as they were defeated by KKR by six wickets.
While CSK are well placed at number two spot in the IPL standings with 15 points, KKR are on the brink of crashing out of the playoff race.
