Manan Vohra was on the front foot at the end of the  third over and Ishwar Pandey’s third over leaked runs in all directions. A short delivery from the pacer saw a full blooded whacking the ball for a six over deep square leg. Then the in-form Sehwag took strike and smashed a deftly cut short to the third man fence. Then the 35-year old lifted the ball over the off-side field for a boundary.

 

There was no-stopping him. He lofted the ball over the infield straight down the ground and then. The next over witnessed absolute carnage from Ashish Nehra’s over. The Delhi battle was a one way street to Najafgarh. Rolling back the years, he went ballistic on the off-side and spanked three consecutive boundaries. MS Dhoni’s men looked clueless and the score  raced over 50 in just the fifth over. The run flow continued with a clever six over the wicket-keeper for another six.

 

Earlier, Chennai Super Kings won the toss and predictably decided to field first. Chennai have retained the same team that cruised to a seven wicket win against Mumbai Indians in the eliminator. Kings XI Punjab on the other hand have brought in their strike bowler Sandeep Sharma, who replaces Rishi Dhawan.
