2. Last match of the season - Jonny Bairstow goes for a duck
OUT!
An excellent IPL comes to a sad end.
Harbhajan get the big man out. A quicker ball which was wide of off, skids off the deck and takes the outside edge of Bairstow.
He plays down the wrong line and Dhoni makes no mistake.

5. Not waiting for umpire's decision, Warner walks off the crease
OUT!
A settled but tired Warner is sent back for 57.
No balance, the ball swings wildly and the bottom hand comes off while doing so. His back foot got dragged too far in the process and Dhoni ain't missing that stumping.

6. Vijay Shankar sent back for 26
OUT!
Deepak Chahar ends his spell with a wicket.
Shankar was looking to clear the deep mid-wicket fence but couldn't get the timing right. The ball lands in Jadeja's hand.

8. Appeal for a run-out and du Plessis is sent back
OUT!
After SRH takes an appeal for a run-out, the preview shows a direct hit. A very close call.
A touch and go! The batsman had driven the ball to Hooda at mid-off and a direct-hit at the bowler's end sends the South African back.

9. Rashid Khan breaks the partnership - Raina goes for 38
OUT!
A fuller length from Rashid, pitched around middle and Raina was looking to work it through the on-side.
But he reaches for the ball, as it has pitched well short of him. He loses his balance and goes out of the crease.
Excellent stumping from Bairstow.

Shane Watson is walking! No century for him.
A good short ball from Bhuvneshwar and Watson got rushed on the pull. There was a top edge as it went through to Bairstow who took a stunning one-handed catch.

12. Ambati Rayudu sent back
OUT!
Anti-climax for the CSK fans in the stadium.
Rayudu wanted the winning hit but is sent back by Deepak Sharma.
He pulls and top edges the ball straight in the air which lands straight into Shankar's hand at mid-off.
