1.2 : 1.2: Mohsin Khan to Daryl Mitchell, FOUR! A sloppy piece of fielding and Daryl Mitchell gets off the mark with a boundary. Mohsin Khan bangs the deck on a touch shorter length over off, Daryl Mitchell rocks back and punches it to cover where Ayush Badoni lets it go through his hands for four runs. 
1.4 : 1.4: Mohsin Khan to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! That's just rubbing salt on the wound!
1.5 : 1.5: Mohsin Khan to Ruturaj Gaikwad, Four!

3.3 : 3.3: Ravi Bishnoi to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! Drags the length short but gets the same treatment! Boundaries coming thick and fast for Chennai now. Ravi Bishnoi bowls this shorter and outside off, Ruturaj Gaikwad rocks back and cuts it aerially just past the diving fielder at backward point for four more. 
4.1 : 4.1: Matt Henry to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! Wow, that was so pleasing to the eye! Matt Henry bows this a touch fuller in length, on off, Ruturaj Gaikwad leans on it and drives it beautifully through covers for a boundary.

5.2 : 5.2: Yash Thakur to Daryl Mitchell, OUT! CAUGHT! Where did that come from?
6.5 : 6.5: Ravi Bishnoi to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! This time Ravindra Jadeja does use more force rather than just chipping it. Too full around off, Jadeja gets low and whacks it right back over the bowler's head for a boundary.
7.4 : 7.4: Marcus Stoinis to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Once again, a bit more force and intent gets Ravindra Jadeja the boundary. Banged in well short and down leg, Jadeja swivels and pulls it wide of short fine leg this time for a boundary.
8.5 : 8.5: Krunal Pandya to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! One too many short balls from Krunal Pandya and this time he is punished. Short one around middle, Ruturaj Gaikwad rocks back and pulls it through the gap at mid on and mid-wicket for a boundary.
9.3 : 9.3: Yash Thakur to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! Ruturaj Gaikwad made that look really easy. Banged in halfway down the track, pace off and right over the stumps. Gaikwad waits back and just sticks out his bat to ramp it right over the keeper for a boundary.
10.4 : 10.4: Krunal Pandya to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! Placed to perfection! Pandya bangs it shorter and drifts it down leg, Ruturaj Gaikwad slips on a knee and sweeps it along the ground to fine leg fence for four runs. 
11.2 : 11.2: Mohsin Khan to Ruturaj Gaikwad, Four!
11.5 : 11.5: Mohsin Khan to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Change of pace has worked the trick and Ravindra Jadeja has to walk back. Mohsin Khan bowls a cutter that's dug in short and drifting over middle and leg, Ravindra Jadeja is deceived by the pace off and looks to pull but is way too early on his shot. He gets a glove to it as the ball goes straight into the safe custody of KL Rahul behind the stumps. 
12.5: Marcus Stoinis to Shivam Dube, SIX! Wow, how good a shot was that to bring the first six of the innings? Marcus Stoinis bowls this on a length and gets the ball to angle into the left-hander, around middle and off, Shivam Dube stands back and lofts it up over the bowler's head for a maximum.

14.1: Marcus Stoinis to Ruturaj Gaikwad, SIX! Pulled away and how? Marcus Stoinis drops the length short and lands it just outside off, Ruturaj Gaikwad stands tall and waits for the ball before nailing his pull shot over mid-wicket for a biggie!
14.3 : 14.3: Marcus Stoinis to Shivam Dube, FOUR! That's some power! Stoinis lands this fuller and just outside off, Shivam Dube drills it straight past mid off for four runs. 
15.2 : 15.2: Yash Thakur to Shivam Dube, SIX! Carries all the way! Looks to go full at the toes but just misses his mark, Shivam Dube clears the front leg and launches it high and over the cow corner fence for a maximum.
15.3 : 15.3: Yash Thakur to Shivam Dube, SIX! Back-to-back! That is ordinary bowling from Yash Thakur. Short ball around off with no bite on it and Shivam Dube just rocks back and pulls it handsomely over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.
15.4 : 15.4: Yash Thakur to Shivam Dube, SIX! Make that a hat-trick of sixes for Shivam Dube and he is taking Yash Thakur to the cleaners here. Banged in on a hard length over the stumps, Dube just swings through the line and lifts it very high over the long on fence for yet another maximum. Chennai have come firing after the break.
16.1 : 16.1: Mohsin Khan to Ruturaj Gaikwad, SIX MORE! Mohsin Khan comes from around the stumps and goes short at the body. Ruturaj Gaikwad use the angle and pulls it over deep square leg for a biggie and moves into the 90s. Not the pitch to be bowling short this.

17.5 : 17.5: Yash Thakur to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! A valiant effort in the deep from Ravi Bishnoi but in vain. Banged in short, Ruturaj Gaikwad gets hurried on and miscues the pull in front of deep mid-wicket. Bishnoi is a bit inside the ropes and has to back-pedal and he cannot reach it. The ball just bounces inside the ropes and goes for a four.
18.1 : 18.1: Mohsin Khan to Shivam Dube, SIX! Easy pace and that was just begging to be hit. Halfway down the track and around off, sitting up nicely, Shivam Dube stands tall and slobbers it a long way over wide long on for a biggie.
18.3 : 18.3: Mohsin Khan to Shivam Dube, Four!
18.4 : 18.4: Mohsin Khan to Shivam Dube, SIX! Shivam Dube is playing a blinder here and brings up his third FIFTY of the season! Slower one, right in the slot outside off and Dube flat-bats it right back over the bowler's head for a maximum. 16 already off this over.

18.3 : 18.3: Matheesha Pathirana to Deepak Hooda, FOUR! That's sloppy from Deepak Chahar and this could cost Chennai a lot more than just a four. Matheesha Pathirana bowls this nicely on a fuller length well outside off, Deepak Hooda looks to slice it over cover but gets a thick outside edge past the keeper. Deepak Chahar at third man gets to the ball but doesn't bend down enough letting the ball go through for four runs.

19.3: Mustafizur Rahman to Marcus Stoinis, FOUR! As easy as it can get! Marcus Stoinis has pulled out a heist and made it two in a row for Lucknow against Chennai this season. Mustafizur Rahman drops the length short and bowls it really short over middle and leg, Marcus Stoinis gets across and has all the time in the world to pull it over short fine leg for four runs to seal the victory with 6 wickets in hand.Â
