Overs 8-16: 53/5 (RR: 5.88)

Overs 17-20: 45/3 (RR: 11.25)

If either Gaikwad or Dube don't score then overall score is less.

Rahane sir just never disappoint to provide low score and zero run inspiration. Hats off to the legendary Rahane sir for consistanly getting out without making a big score on the board.

Others: 3/119 from 12 overs (ER: 9.91

CSK end on 167. It's not a great total on this wicket. Rahane went early but Gaikwad and Mitchell looked good in their 2nd wicket stand but enter Rahul Chahar who took 2 in 2 after the first timeout. That included another golden duck for Dube and the innings needed consolidating. Moeen and Jadeja added a little stand after Mitchell was trapped LBW. Mo did not make it big and wickets continued to fall. CSK must have considered Sameer Rizvi as the impact sub when wickets were falling but instead they sent Santer and Thakur ahead of Dhoni who again was kept back for the last two overs. Rahul Chahar came back and bowled another couple of good overs at the death while Harshal bowled an exceptional 19th over which included 2 in 2, getting Thakur and Dhoni off successive balls. No party today for the men in yellow who turned up to see another Dhoni special. The last over saw Jadeja hit a four and a six before he fell. 167 on this looks at least 20 short. What can CSK conjure up with the ball?
