Earlier, Axar Patel dismissed both the CSK openers, Devon Conway (10 runs off 13 balls) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (24 runs off 18 balls) by the seventh over itself and provided visitors with quick breakthroughs. Then Kuldeep Yadav trapped Moeen Ali and sent him back to the pavilion for a score of 7 off 12 balls.
Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat first but the decision didn’t work in their favour as they lost six wickets by the 17th over on just the score of 126. There was also a controversial moment in the match when during the fourth over, the third umpire refused to give Devon Conway out despite a clear spike on the ultra edge.
The whole decision is being criticised by fans and even CSK is facing backlash on social media over the strange decision from the umpire.
