| 2.2 : 2.2: Deepak Chahar to Yashasvi Jaiswal, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Jaiswal falls on the very next ball after hitting a boundary. Chahar once again bangs it short. This one gets bigger on Jaiswal. He looks to take on and goes for the pull shot. However, the ball takes the top edge and balloons just behind the stumps. Dhoni and Chahar both want the catch but it is Chahar who keeps his calm and takes the catch. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Deepak Chahar to Steven Smith, FOUR! First boundary for Smith! Once again it is the short ball that gets the punishment. Chahar is not the quickest. Smith goes back and pulls it over square leg and gets a boundary. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Lungi Ngidi to Steven Smith, SIX! Welcome into the attack, Mr. Ngidi, says Smith. A fuller ball on the pads of Smith, he picks it up early and deposits it over deep square leg for a biggie. First one of the game. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Sam Curran to Sanju Samson, FOUR! CHEEKY! Short of a length ball around off, Samson stays back and looks to cut. The ball takes the top edge and flies towards third man for a boundary. |

| 5.3 : 5.3: Deepak Chahar to Sanju Samson, SIX! Lovely hit! Short ball on middle, it sits up nicely for Samson as he pulls it with ease over deep square leg fence for a maximum. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Deepak Chahar to Steven Smith, FOUR! Poor stuff from the bowler but excellent one from the batsman. Chahar strays one down the leg and Smith just about manages to get bat on ball and sends the ball running towardss fine leg for a boundary. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: Ravindra Jadeja to Sanju Samson, SIX! That's a mighty hit! Floated around middle, it is in the arc of Samson as he lofts it high and over the long on fence for a huge hit. |

| 7.5 : 7.5: Piyush Chawla to Sanju Samson, SIX! BOOM! 7th six for Samson! It seems like this man is playing in the nets right now! Another loopy ball, it is again very full, where Samson likes it.

| 9.3 : 9.3: Piyush Chawla to Sanju Samson, SIX! Another one! It's raining sixes here. Chawla doesn't want to learn as he continues to toss the ball up and bowl it in the arc. Samson has no problem lifting it over long off for another biggie. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: Piyush Chawla to Steven Smith, FOUR! Guided! Excellent batting! Chawla bowls it short, quicker and just outside off, Smith waits for it and then runs it down through past the short third man fielder and into the fence. |

| 11.4 : 11.4: Lungi Ngidi to Sanju Samson, OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent catch! That is what was needed and Ngidi did exactly the same. He drags his length back a bit and that is what Samson misread. He goes early into the lofted shot as the ball arrives late. Still he goes for the shot and ends up miscuing it high and towards deep point. Deepak Chahar stationed there runs in and takes a good catch. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Lungi Ngidi to Steven Smith, OUT! RUN OUT! Unfortunate way to go back! Gone for a duck without facing a ball. Fullish and on middle, Smith tucks it towards deep square leg. He wants two. Miller obliges and goes for it. Ruturaj Gaikwad gets to the ball quickly and fires the throw at the non-steiker's end. Kedar there collects the ball and takes the bails off. Third umpire has been called for. Replays roll in. Miller is short. His bat got stuck in the ground and he dropped it. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: Ravindra Jadeja to Steven Smith, DROPPED AND SIX! Poor from Curran! That will not please Jadeja. The horror night for him continues. He tossed it up and bowled it wide outside off, Smith reaches out and slams it towards long off. Goes to Sam Curran who gets both hands to it but spills it and parries it over the fence. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Piyush Chawla to Robin Uthappa, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one falls and Chennai making a fine comeback here! Chawla returns and bowls a fuller one outside off, Uthappa drills it towards long off. Faf du Plessis is there. Moves a bit to his left and takes a good tumbling catch. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Lungi Ngidi to Steven Smith, FOUR! Nicely done! Creative from the skipper! Uses the pace of the bowler and scoops it over short fine leg and gets a boundary. Falls over in the process but who cares. Smith has got a boundary. |

| 16.2 : 16.2: Sam Curran to Rahul Tewatia, OUT! LBW! The review will not save Tewatia! That looked plumb but Smith and Tewatia gambled with the review towards the end. Curran with the knack of taking wickets strikes. He bowls a fuller one around off and middle, Tewatia tries to flick it but misses to get hit on the pads. They all go up in appeal. The finger goes up. Tewatia goes to his skipper who asks him to refer it upstairs. Replays roll in and show that the onfield call is correct one. So Tewatia ha |
| 16.5 : 16.5: Sam Curran to Riyan Parag, FOUR! A boundary now! Streaky from Parag. Full and wide outside off, Parag waits for the ball and then guides it through short third man for a boundary. |
| 16.6 : 16.6: Sam Curran to Riyan Parag, OUT! CAUGHT! Chennai are pulling it back brilliantly. Curran it is again. This young lad keeps on getting better and better. He bowls a slower one outside off, Parag looks to run it down to third man but ends up getting a faint nick behind to the keeper. Dhoni there dives forward and gobbles it up. Barely an appeal there from anyone on the field as Parag walk back. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Sam Curran to Steven Smith, OUT! CAUGHT! Smith holes out near the ropes. A fine innings from him though. He is disappointed with himself but a top knock from the skipper. Good length ball on middle, Smith flicks it superbly. Times it so well but it goes straight down the throat of Kedar Jadhav at deep square leg. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: Sam Curran to Tom Curran, FOUR! EDGY RUN! Tom won't mind though. A perfect yorker around off. Tom looks to keep it out but gets a thick outside edge and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Lungi Ngidi to Jofra Archer, SIX! Whoa! Ngidi goes full and around off, Archer goes for the full swing of te bat. Great extension of arms as he hits it hit and over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Lungi Ngidi to Jofra Archer, SIX! That's gone out of the park! Short and on middle, Archer pulls it powerfully over deep square leg fence for a maximum. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Lungi Ngidi to Jofra Archer, NO BALL! SIX! Three in a row! Archer is enjoying it. Another short one and Archer pulls it flat this time towards deep square leg for a six. Ngidi oversteps and it will be a Free Hit on the next ball. |
| 19.3: Lungi Ngidi to Jofra Archer, SIX! That has gone into the universe! Four in a row! Full and outside off, Archer hoicks it over long over long on for a huge hit. It is another no ball as Ngidi oversteps once again. Free Hit coming up. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Jaydev Unadkat to Murali Vijay, FOUR! Poor bowling from Unadkat. He bowls it on the pads of Vijay who flicks it towards fine leg fence. Full and around off, Vijay slams it over mid off and gets a boundary. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Jaydev Unadkat to Murali Vijay, FOUR! Now lifts him over mid off to get second boundary in the over. Fuller in length and around off, Vijay just clears his front leg and lofts it over the infield towards long off for a boundary. |

| 5.3 : 5.3: Tom Curran to Shane Watson, SIX! Hoicked! Length ball on leg, Watson flicks it high and over the deep square leg fence for a biggie. |

| 5.5 : 5.5: Tom Curran to Shane Watson, FOUR! Curran is leaking runs. Length ball outside off, Watson cuts it powerfully through point and into the fence behind for a boundary. |
| 6.4 : 6.4: Rahul Tewatia to Shane Watson, OUT! TIMBER! Tewatia with the breakthrough. Watson was looking dangerous but he has been removed now. Watson is furious with himself. A short ball on middle and leg, Watson goes back and looks to send it into the orbit on the leg side. He though misses and the ball kisses his pad and then thuds on the stumps. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: Shreyas Gopal to Murali Vijay, OUT! CAUGHT! Soft way to get out. Vijay walks back. What Chennai failed to do Rajasthan are doing it. Gopal goes short and on middle, Vijay goes for the pull but fails to time it to perfection. He finds the fielder at deep square leg who takes the catch with ease. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: Shreyas Gopal to Sam Curran, FOUR! Classy! Shorter and on middle, Curran pulls it with ease through mid-wicket and into the fence there for a boundary. |
| 8.2 : 8.2: Rahul Tewatia to Sam Curran, SIX! Slammed away! Brilliant batting! Sam doing what Samson did with the bat for now. How long can he continue doing though is what matters. Tossed up and on middle, Sam lifts it over long on and gets a biggie. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Rahul Tewatia to Sam Curran, SIX! CURRAN HAS THE LICENSE FROM THE SKIPPER! Floated on off, Sam comes down the track and lofts it cleanly over the fence at long on for a mighty hit. |
| 8.6 : 8.6: Rahul Tewatia to Ruturaj Gaikwad, OUT! STUMPED! Another one bites the dust. What was Gaikwad thinking there. He had just arrived in the middle and tried to overpower the bowler who had just taken a wicket. Tewatia bowls a leg spinner now seeing Ruturaj jump out of his crease. In the end he gets foxed as the ball goes past the outside edge on his attempted hoick. The keeper, Sanju Samson once again takes the ball and whips the bails off with ease this time as Gaikwad was well outside his cre |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Rahul Tewatia to Sam Curran, OUT! STUMPED! Smart bowling by Tewatia there.Bbrilliant thinking there from the bowler. He antcipates Curran's move and goes on the bowler a googly which is shorter in length. Sam fails to read it and goes ahead with his shot. In the end he misses it as the ball goes past the outside edge. Sanju Samson behind the wickets collects it and takes the bails off in a flash. The umpire take it upstairs and the big screen flashes a big out. Sam fails to replicate his in |

| 14.2 : 14.2: Rahul Tewatia to Faf du Plessis, SIX! JUST OVER THE ROPES! Flighted ball on middle, Faf dances down the track and lofts it over the long on fence. The fielder there looks to take the catch but the ball just about manages to clear the fence for six. Chennai need more of these. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Rahul Tewatia to Faf du Plessis, SIX! UP, UP AND OVER! Flatter outside off, Faf makes room and carves it over the bowler's heand and into the fence behind for a biggie. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Jofra Archer to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Finds the gap this time. Shortish and just outside off, Faf is sitting back in the crease. He whacks it through the cover region and gets a boundary. |
| 16.2: Jaydev Unadkat to Faf du Plessis, SIX! BIGGIE! Faf sends it sailing over the fence. It is probably the slower one. He skips down the track and gets to the pitch and then lofts it over the long on fence. |

Full and around off, in the slot for Faf to launch it. He does that and powers it over the bowler's head for a maximun. 14th half ton in the Indian T20 League. 58 needed in 3 overs. |
