The Chennai side is used to such milestones as earlier in 2018, there were 33 sixes smashed in the fixture against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

In the same edition, CSK had even witnessed 31 sixes against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

Here's the full list:

RCB vs CSK: 33 (2018)

DD vs GL: 31 (2017)

CSK vs KKR: 31 (2018)

The match saw many moments from David Miller's run-out for a duck to Tom Curran called back to play after given an out. While this clash was RR first, Chennai had won their opener against Mumbai Indians (MI) on September 19.

The next clash is between KKR and MI at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi at 7:30 PM.
