KL Rahul (C) (W)run out (Ravindra Jadeja) 5 7 1 0 71.43
2.5
Deepak Chahar to Chris Gayle, OUT! RUN OUT! The dangerous KL Rahul is out of here courtesy of a fabulous piece of fielding from Ravindra Jadeja. He is an exceptional fielder and his exceptional skills have got the better of the Punjab skipper. Fullish ball angling into Gayle around his pad. Gayle looks to flick but misses. The ball hits his pad and there is an appeal from Chennai players. The batters meanwhile try to take a leg bye. The ball rolls towards cover-point. Jadeja is not interested in paying attention to the appeal. He sets his eyes on the ball and charges towards it. Picks it up, and, with a bullet throw scores a direct hit at the keeper's end. Rahul is quick but Jadeja is like a cheetah on the field. Replay rolls in and it shows KL Rahul to be short of his crease. Both openers back in the dugout, this is a fabulous start for Chennai. Punjab are off to a nightmare!

Deepak Chahar to Mayank Agarwal, OUT! BOWLED! Peach of a delivery from Deepak Chahar and it is too good for Mayank Agarwal. He is out of here without troubling the scorers. There was going to be an early movement for the seamers and Deepak Chahar has made the most of it. Good length delivery pitching on middle and off. Mayank Agarwal looks to defend it but the ball shapes away late and Mayank is fully committed to the shot. He is completely squared up and the ball hits the top of off. Unplayable delivery from Deepak Chahar. Perfect start for Chennai. 
Chris Gaylec Ravindra Jadeja b Deepak Chahar 10 10 2 0 100
4.2
Deepak Chahar to Chris Gayle, OUT! CAUGHT! Jadeja into the act once again. First with a run out and now with a very good flying catch. Gaikwad will be a relieved man. He dropped Gayle on 0 and luckily for him it has cost just 10 runs. Chahar gets his second. He should have had Gayle in his first over but he has him in his third over. Chahar goes full and makes this one move away from Gayle and also it is the knuckle ball so the pace does the Universe Boss too. Gayle looks to play it towards mid on. He closes the face of the bat early thinking it to be a normal pace ball. It takes the outer half of his bat and goes to the right of short cover. Jadeja there dives and takes a stunning catch.
Deepak Hoodac Faf du Plessis b Deepak Chahar 10 15 1 0 66.67
6.2
Deepak Chahar to Deepak Hooda, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and the ploy to bowl out Chahar works wonder for Chennai. What a game he has had! Mind-boggling to say the least. A genuine seam-up delivery on off, Hooda is early into his shot, He ends up chipping it straight to mid off. Faf du Plessis there is never going to drop those. He takes a simple catch and half the side is back in the dugout for Punjab. This is outrageous and abysmal batting from Punjab.
Nicholas Pooranc Shardul Thakur b Deepak Chahar 0 2 0 0 0
4.4
Deepak Chahar to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! CAUGHT! Pooran goes back for yet another duck. That is two-in-two for him.  Bouncer from Chahar and that gets the wicket. Whatever this man is touching is turning to gold tonight. When it rains, it pours and for Punjab wickets are pouring here. Bouncer on middle, Pooran pulls it. There is just one man at deep square leg. Pooran picks him to perfection. Thakur does not even have to move as it is straight to him.
Shahrukh Khanc Ravindra Jadeja b Sam Curran 47 36 4 2 130.56
19.1
Sam Curran to Shahrukh Khan, OUT! CAUGHT! The sole batter who showed some fight and took Punjab to a respectable total is out of here too. Shahrukh Khan falls short of a well-deserved fifty but he can go back with his head held high. Sam Curran gets his first wicket of the game. He rolls his finger on it and bangs it short. Shahrukh Khan pulls it but with no timing. He finds Jadeja at deep mid-wicket. Worst fielder to pick because he will never drop those. Once again no mistake from Jaddu as he takes a simple catch.
Jhye Richardsonb Moeen Ali 15 22 2 0 68.18
12.1
Moeen Ali to Jhye Richardson, OUT! BOWLED! Jhye Richardson departs as well. Cannot blame him. His job is to do the damage with the ball. Moeen gets his first wicket of the game.  Short and turning in from off stump. Jhye Richardson gets on his back foot to whack it over the leg side. He misses as the ball is not as short as he thought. It goes under his bat to disturb the stumps. The 31-run stand has been broken.
Murugan Ashwinc Faf du Plessis b Dwayne Bravo 6 14 0 0 42.86
16.5
Dwayne Bravo to Murugan Ashwin, OUT! CAUGHT! Murugan Ashwin departs and Bravo too joins the party. Gets his first wicket in his first over. Good length ball on off, Murugan Ashwin looks to hit it on the up but ends up scooping it to mid off. Faf du Plessis keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a simple catch.

4.6
Arshdeep Singh to Ruturaj Gaikwad, OUT! CAUGHT! Ruturaj Gaikwad's struggle out in the middle comes to an end. He never looked comfortable out in the middle and has to depart. Arshdeep gets the first wicket of the innings. Can Punjab strike a few more quickly and unsettle the Chennai dressing room? Bouncer on middle, Gaikwad looks to pull but mistimes it yet again. This time he finds Deepak Hooda to perfection at deep mid-wicket.

12.3
Murugan Ashwin to Moeen Ali, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man at deep mid-wicket. Moeen has done his job here. Floated on middle, it is the wrong 'un again. Moeen once again looks to slog it over on the leg side This time he does not get under it and hits it straight to Shahrukh Khan at deep mid-wicket. He has had a good game and he takes a simple catch. Murugan has something to smile about.
Suresh Rainac KL Rahul b Mohammed Shami 8 9 1 0 88.89
14.2
Mohammed Shami to Suresh Raina, OUT! CAUGHT! Raina departs to the short ball. This will not affect the outcome of the game but might see Raina being peppered with a lot of short stuff. It is close to the body. Raina looks to pull but gloves it to KL Rahul. He takes a simple catch.
Ambati Rayuduc Nicholas Pooran b Mohammed Shami 0 1 0 0 0

Mohammed Shami to Ambati Rayudu, OUT! CAUGHT! Shami gets his second wicket! Short delivery outside off, Rayudu comes down the track and looks to go over covers but gets a top edge. It goes towards the fielder where Nicholas Pooran takes a comfortable catch.
