"Feeling grateful and happy to be able to contribute. Today is my son's fourth birthday... We knew we had to get to a good start," Uthappa said after the match. He also acknowledged the positive team environment in the CSK franchise. "You listen to a lot of chatter that is happening outside. I just felt I would be able to contribute. This is one of the most secure franchises going around. That only makes a player give that much back to the franchise," said the 35-year-old, who is a Twenty20 World Cup winner with India.
