0.5 : 0.5: Trent Boult to Ruturaj Gaikwad, OUT! LBW! Trent Boult has done a fantastic job for his side here. Chennai are 1 down without even opening their account. On a good length on middle and leg, Gaikwad looked to tuck that on the leg side but misses to get hit on the pads. Boult appeals fervently for a LBW but it is turned down. He has a long chat with Pollard and the big man, the skipper in this game, finally flashes the T. It goes upstairs and Ball Tracker shows THREE REDS. Gaikwad has to make |
1.4 : 1.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Ambati Rayudu, OUT! TAKEN! Up in the air.... and gone! Wicket No. 98 for Bumrah in the League. Shortish ball on top of the stumps, Rayudu looks to pull but gets it off the glove. It lobs in the air just to the left of de Kock. The keeper takes it with ease. |
1.5 : 1.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Narayan Jagadeesan, OUT! CAUGHT! 2 in 2 for Bumrah. He is on a hat-trick now. He is also just one wicket away from 100 wickets in the League. Full and outside off, inviting Jagadeesan for the drive. The batsman falls for the trap. Ends up getting an outside edge, it goes a bit low to Suryakumar Yadav at second slip. SKY lunges forward a bit to take it. |
2.5: Trent Boult to Faf du Plessis, OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust. Chennai crumbling like ninepins here. Full and outside off, Faf looks to slash hard at it. But he ends up getting an outside edge. It goes to de Kock who takes it with ease. |
3.1 : 3.1: Jasprit Bumrah to MS Dhoni, EDGED AND FOUR! Well that would not have carried though, even if there was a slip fielder there. Full and outside off, Dhoni looks to drive but an outside edge is induced. It goes through the vacant slip region between the keeper and second slip. A boundary as it goes to the third man boundary. |
3.3 : 3.3: Jasprit Bumrah to MS Dhoni, FOUR! Terrific shot. Fullish and around off, Dhoni stands tall and punches it through the covers for a boundary. |
3.5 : 3.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! It has gone fine and Jadeja picks up four. Full on middle and leg, Jadeja flicks it to the fine leg fence. |
5.2 : 5.2: Trent Boult to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! CAUGHT! Ohh... he has hit it straight to the fielder! Chennai have never lost 5 wickets inside the Powerplay but it has been that sort of a season for them this one. Shortish ball on off, it does not bounce as much off the surface though. Jadeja skips down the track and pulls it but does not time it well. It goes low to Krunal Pandya at short mid-wicket who takes it safely. |
6.3 : 6.3: Rahul Chahar to MS Dhoni, SIX! That is more the Dhoni we all know! Floated outside off, he comes down the track and powers this mightily over long off for a maximum. |
6.4 : 6.4: Rahul Chahar to MS Dhoni, OUT! CAUGHT! Got to feel for Chennai in this season, nothing is really going their way. Dhoni's eyes lit up there but he only got an edge on it. Tossed up outside off, the legbreak, Dhoni looked to whack that over covers but there was a lot of spin there. Dhoni does not read that well, it takes the outside edge and de Kock pouches onto it. |
8.3 : 8.3: Rahul Chahar to Sam Curran, SIX! Goes for the big one and gets the desired result. Tossed up ball around off, Curan mows a slog sweep over deep mid-wicket. These are short boundaries. |
8.5 : 8.5: Rahul Chahar to Deepak Chahar, OUT! STUMPED! It is just chaos out there. If you are a Chennai fan, you do not want to be seeing this anymore. It is also impressive umpiring because the square leg umpire has given the stumping out without referring it upstairs. Even Deepak Chahar kept walking without choosing to have a look at it. Rahul tosses the legbreak outside off, Deepak looks to heave that over wide long on but misses. De Kock collects and effects the stumping. He appeals and the squar |
9.3 : 9.3: Nathan Coulter-Nile to Sam Curran, SIX! You get full reward for your shots in Sharjah. Shortish ball on middle, Curran swivels a touch and pulls it well over fine leg. |
14.5 : 14.5: Nathan Coulter-Nile to Shardul Thakur, OUT! CAUGHT! Wicket No. 8 falls for Chennai. They are going in deeper trouble. Shortish ball outside off, Thakur looks to go over point for a boundary. But he ends up hitting it uppishly towards backward point. Suryakumar Yadav there takes it with ease. |
16.6 : 16.6: Krunal Pandya to Imran Tahir, FOUR! A boundary.... a much needed one for Chennai. Flatter ball outside off, Tahir cuts ir nicely in the gap between short third man and backward point for a boundary. |
17.2 : 17.2: Nathan Coulter-Nile to Sam Curran, FOUR! What a cricketer Sam Curran is turning out to be. He shuffles across to the off side, the ball was full outside off, Curran nicely laps this over the keeper's head to the fine leg boundary. |
18.4 : 18.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Imran Tahir, FOUR! That bring up the 100 for Chennai as well. Nice way to get to it. And they do get to 100, Chennai. Length ball on top of the stumps, Tahir moves to the on side and paddles it over the keeper's head to the third man fence. |
19.2 : 19.2: Trent Boult to Sam Curran, FOUR! Sam Curran gets a boundary. Short ball, he pulls this to the deep square leg boundary. The deep square leg fielder runs to his left but cannot cut it off. |
19.4 : 19.4: Trent Boult to Sam Curran, FOUR! Nice little stroke from Sam Curran. Full and outside off, Curran slashes this over point for a boundary. |
19.5 : 19.5: Trent Boult to Sam Curran, FOUR! This is a good over for Chennai. 50 for Curran as well. His first for Chennai and second in the League. Shortish ball on top of the stumps, Curran moves to the off side and pulls it well to the right of fine leg for a boundary. |
19.6 : 19.6: Trent Boult to Sam Curran, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Boult has 4 wickets. But it is a fine innings from Sam Curran, 52 runs from 47 balls. Boult knows that Curran will move across to the off side and hence bowls a yorker on the off pole. Curran moves to the off side and looks to flick on seeing the yorker length. He though misses and the off pole is knocked out. CHENNAI FINISH ON 114/9. |
0.2 : 0.2: Deepak Chahar to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! This one swings the other way, takes the outside edge and goes away for a boundary. Full and swinging away outside off, de Kock looks to drive but gets a thick outside edge. It goes to the third man region. Hazlewood runs to his right, puts in the dive but fails to stop it. |
0.3 : 0.3: Deepak Chahar to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! SHOT! Full and around off, driven straight down the ground, to the long off boundary. |
1.1 : 1.1: Josh Hazlewood to Ishan Kishan, FOUR! Beautifully hit for a boundary. Kishan is off the mark as well. Shortish and outside off, Kishan cuts it in front of point and gets a boundary. |
1.3 : 1.3: Josh Hazlewood to Ishan Kishan, FOUR! And again, Kishan splits the gap well. Shortish and outside off again from Hazlewood, Kishan cuts it nicely in the gap between short third man and point for a boundary. |
2.5 : 2.5: Deepak Chahar to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Lucky there for de Kock. Full and outside off, de Kock comes down and looks to hit this over covers. But he ends up getting a thick outside edge. The ball goes high in the air but lands safely and trickles away finely to the third man boundary. |
3.1 : 3.1: Josh Hazlewood to Ishan Kishan, MISFIELD AND A BOUNDARY! Oh dear.... that's not good, not good at all. Outside off, Kishan punches it firmly off the back foot. It goes straight to Gaikwad at point who fails to stop it. It goes through for a boundary. |
3.4 : 3.4: Josh Hazlewood to Ishan Kishan, EDGED AND FOUR! Ishan Kishan is a very interesting player to watch. Fullish and outside off, Kishan looks to cut but gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies over du Plessis at first slip as he makes a leap to try to grab it. The ball goes to the third man boundary. |
4.4: Deepak Chahar to Ishan Kishan, FOUR! Firm shot. Full and width on offer outside off, Kishan cuts it firmly to the right of point and the ball races away for a boundary. |
4.5 : 4.5: Deepak Chahar to Ishan Kishan, FOUR! Kishan has taken a particular liking to that area there. Fullish and outside off, Kishan stands tall and punches this in front of point and bags a boundary. |
4.6 : 4.6: Deepak Chahar to Ishan Kishan, SIX! The signal says it all, it is a maximum. Short ball, Kishan ferociously pulls it to the deep square leg fence. That one absolutely rocketed to the fence. Hit so hard. |
6.1 : 6.1: Shardul Thakur to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! And he is welcomed with a boundary. Full and around off, de Kock lifts it over mid off for a boundary. |
6.4 : 6.4: Shardul Thakur to Quinton de Kock, SIX! De Kock has got plenty on that and he gets a maximum. Shortish ball on the body, de Kock swivels and pulls it over the fine leg boundary. De Kock exerted minimal effort there. |
7.2 : 7.2: Imran Tahir to Ishan Kishan, SIX! He makes it ridiculously easy, Kishan. Tossed up on off, Kishan slog sweeps it over long on. |
8.3 : 8.3: Ravindra Jadeja to Ishan Kishan, SIX! This is a terrific shot as well. What a way to get to your second fifty this season. Tossed up on middle, Kishan reverse sweeps this uppishly over deep backward point. |
8.4 : 8.4: Ravindra Jadeja to Ishan Kishan, SIX! Jadeja is just bowling to Kishan's comfort here. Full, around off, slog swept over wide long on for a maximum. |
9.6 : 9.6: Imran Tahir to Ishan Kishan, SIX! Kishan goes big and gets a maximum. Tossed up around off, Kishan comes on the front foot and lofts this over the bowler's head, over long on. A huge one. |
