"If we had a specialist fifth bowler, we would have saved 30-40 runs, we miss a fifth bowler. We are including a specialist spinner in the next match," said Sehwag.
With the loss, Delhi slumped to the fourth position of the IPL points table but Sehwag said they are still in the competition.
"We lost a match today but it happens in cricket we will bounce back," he said.
Sehwag said there was nothing wrong in the game plan but it happen that they had to lose in the last over.
"Our top order was batting beautifully and bowlers bowled well, it so happened that we had to lose in the last over."
Chennai player Albie Morkel, who faced the media instead of captain MS Dhoni, said they were hopeful of Gony and Badrinath getting the required 15 runs in the last over.
"In Twenty20, getting 15-20 runs from the last over is not that difficult. Moreover, a spinner was bowling (the last over) and Gony had hit two sixes in the last match in the last over. So we thought we were in for a win," he said.
Talking about hitting Sehwag for three successive sixes, he said, "It was satisfying, He was doing all the hitting all the while. Today it was my turn.
"Our top order also fired today and that set up the chase," added the South African.
