| 0.1 : 0.1: Jaydev Unadkat to Ruturaj Gaikwad, EDGED, DROPPED AND FOUR! It could have been a first ball wicket but instead it is a boundary to begin with. Lovely start from Unadkat. Full ball wide outside off, it comes in a bit. Gaikwad looks to defend it wide outside off. The ball takes the outside edge and goes to the right of first slip. Tewatia there stretches, gets his hand to it but can't hold onto it. The ball goes behind and beats the man chasing it from gully to the fence. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: Chetan Sakariya to Faf du Plessis, SIX! SMOKED! Faf du Plessis charges and deposits the ball over the ropes for the first time this evening. Spoils the over for young Sakariya! Faf comes down the track and takes the ball on the full. He hits it over the bowler's head for a biggie. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Jaydev Unadkat to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Once again Faf puts on his dancing shoes and gets a boundary! Shorter in length from Unadkat. The ball sits up nicely for du Plessis as he comes down the track. He slogs it across the line and gets a boundary. |
| 3.5: Mustafizur Rahman to Ruturaj Gaikwad, OUT! CAUGHT! Gaikwad departs and it is yet another failure for him. He was not looking comfortable at all and was struggling once again for timing. Mustafizur knew Gaikwad was going to come down the track and try to take charge. The Bangladeshi pacer smartly takes pace off the ball and bowls it onto the surface. Gaikwad hurries onto the shot as he looks to hit it straight down the ground. He mistimes it high in the air. It goes towards cover where Shiv |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Jaydev Unadkat to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Fancy from Faf but he gets enough on it. Slower ball on off, du Plessis premeditates the scoop. Luckily for du Plessis he gets enough on it and gets it behind short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Jaydev Unadkat to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Another scoop and once again the same result. This time it was pace on from Unadkat. Faf once again shuffles inside his crease and scoops it and gets it over and away from short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Jaydev Unadkat to Faf du Plessis, SIX! BOOM! Take that Mr. Unadkat! Faf is taking the charge tonight and is off to a flier. His second biggie of the evening already. Faf comes down the track, Unadkat sees it and bowls it slower. Du Plessis still goes with the shot. He mistimes it but still gets enough power on it to get it over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Jaydev Unadkat to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! This time well-timed and away! Good length ball on middle, du Plessis stays on his crease and hits it straight as an arrow over the bowler's head. It bounces just inside the ropes and hits the advertising cushion. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Chris Morris to Faf du Plessis, OUT! TAKEN! Faf is a goner and Morris has a wicket! He will really feel good, he has not had the best of times with the ball but this is a big wicket. Faf steps out and also makes room, Morris bowls it wide outside off. Faf reaches out for it but does not connect well. Riyadh at deep point takes it. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: Mustafizur Rahman to Moeen Ali, EDGY FOUR! Fifty up in style for Chennai! Outside off, Ali pushes at it. It goes off the outside edge, fine on the off side for a boundary. |

| 7.2 : 7.2: Chris Morris to Moeen Ali, SIX! Over the fence! There was a man out there but he clears him with ease! A short one and it sits up to be hit. Ali pulls it over the mid-wicket fence. |
| 9.2: Rahul Tewatia to Moeen Ali, OUT! Caught! The man who was striking it well, Moeen Ali is a goner! The move to bring Tewatia on works. It is the googly, shorter and spinning away from off. Moeen looks to drag it on the leg side but it goes off the bottom and Parag at deep mid-wicket takes it. |
| 10.2: Riyan Parag to Ambati Rayudu, SIX! In the air and dispatched! Flighted on middle, Rayudu comes down the track and smokes it straight down the ground for a high and handsome biggie. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: Riyan Parag to Suresh Raina, SIX! Massive hit to end the over! Expensive introduction for Parag. 16 off his first over. The last ball is deposited into the mid-wicket fence. Floated on off, Raina slog sweeps it over mid-wicket for a massive biggie. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Rahul Tewatia to Ambati Rayudu, SIX! That was six the moment it left the bat! A drag down from Tewatia. It is on middle, Rayudu goes on his back foot and smokes it over the mid-wicket fence for an 82m biggie. |

| 12.6 : 12.6: Jaydev Unadkat to Suresh Raina, FOUR! No he cannot! Really unfortunate for Unadkat as the last ball has gone to the fence off an edge. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: Chetan Sakariya to Ambati Rayudu, OUT! CAUGHT! Sakariya gets his man and the ploy to bring back the youngster pays reward for Samson and Rajasthan. Back of a length delivery from Sakariya. This time he gets his line right and bowls it around off. Rayudu looks to slap it over deep point. He does not time it well and it goes straight to the man in the deep there. Riyan Parag is once again the middle of the action as he takes his third catch of the game. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: Chetan Sakariya to Suresh Raina, OUT! CAUGHT! Second wicket in the over for Sakariya and both the set batters are out of here. Inspired bowling change here from Samson as both Rayudu and Raina are back in the dug out and Chennai have two new batters out in the middle. Good length ball on off, Raina was probably expecting some short stuff but the youngsters bowls it on a length. Raina looks to go over mid off but does not get the elevation and hits it straight to mid off. Morris there mak |

| 17.2 : 17.2: Chetan Sakariya to MS Dhoni, OUT! TAKEN! The big smile on Sakariya's face just shows what this wicket means to him. He will remember this for a very long time.

Curran takes it slowly but Bravo takes the first one quickly, he wants another. Curran is late to take off. The throw comes to his end and Samson whips the bails off. Curran's dive does not save him. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Mustafizur Rahman to Dwayne Bravo, OUT! RUN OUT! More importantly a dot! A yorker outside off, Bravo looks to lift it over covers but misses. Thakur wants a bye but Bravo is not interested. Samson throws it to the bowler who takes the bails off. |

| 4.1 : 4.1: Deepak Chahar to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Straight down the ground! Fuller and on middle, this is lofted wide of mid on for a boundary. This was not timed that well but in the gap. |

| 5.5 : 5.5: Sam Curran to Sanju Samson, OUT! CAUGHT! Sam Curran gets the better of Sanju Samson. Another failure for Samson. Once again he disappoints all his fans. Consistency is the issue yet again with Samson. A majestic century in the first game is followed by two low scores. Sam Curran continues his impressive run in the yellow of Chennai and his decisive bowling is keeping Chennai in this game. Curran bangs it short, this one keeps heavy on Samson and is very close to the Rajasthan skipper. He l |
| 7.2 : 7.2: Ravindra Jadeja to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Nicely played! Premeditated but nicely done. Darted around off, Buttler quickly gets in the position to reverse sweep it. He hits it away from short third man and gets a boundary. |

| 8.6 : 8.6: Shardul Thakur to Shivam Dube, FOUR! Stand and delivery! A juicy half-volley from Thakur. Just like the first ball of the over, the last one is also asking to be hit. Dube goes straight over mid off and gets a boundary. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: Ravindra Jadeja to Jos Buttler,  NO BALL AND SIX! If that biggie was painful, the buzzer is going to be a slat in the wound. Short on off and middle, Buttler gets on his back foot and smokes it over mid-wicket for a biggie. Jadeja has overstepped too to make matters worse. Free Hit coming up. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Ravindra Jadeja to Jos Buttler, OUT! Timber! There is the huge wicket, the wicket Chennai needed and Buttler walks back one short of a half ton. A beauty to get rid of Buttler. This lands on middle and then spins away. Buttler goes back to defend but is beaten by the turn and it hits the stumps. This chase looks very difficult now. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Ravindra Jadeja to Shivam Dube, OUT! The impact is umpire's call and it is hitting the middle pole and Jadeja has turned the game on its head with two wickets in the over. This lands outside off and turns back in. Dube looks to work it on the leg side but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal and the finger is raised. Dube reviews and replays show that he has to walk back. Rajasthan do not lose a review though. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: Moeen Ali to David Miller, OUT!  LBW! The move to get Moeen on works! Is that the game for Chennai as Miller is a goner! On off, Miller looks to sweep but misses to get hit on the pads, an appeal and the finger is raised. |

| 17.5 : 17.5: Sam Curran to Jaydev Unadkat, FOUR! Easy pickings! Slower one on the pads, Unadkat whips it through square leg for a boundary. |
