| 1.6 : 1.6: Arshdeep Singh to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! Clever, very clever! At 134.4 kph, on a back of a length, outside off, the ball does not rise as expected, Ruturaj Gaikwad manages to get underneath it and plays the upper-cut over first slip for a boundary. 50th boundary of this year's Indian T20 League for the Chennai skipper. |
| 2.6: Kagiso Rabada to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! Not exactly where he intended but Ajinkya Rahane will take it! Fuller in length and in the corridor of off, Ajinkya Rahane goes for the drive but he plays it away from his body. Gets an outside edge that races along the ground and beats deep backward point to his left for a boundary. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Arshdeep Singh to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! Flayed away! Arshdeep errs in line as he offers width and this is short as well, Ajinkya Rahane needs no second invitation as he throws his hands and gets it to the left of deep backward point for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Arshdeep Singh to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! It is Ruturaj Gaikwad this time who cashes in on the width! Arshdeep gets the line wrong and there is not much pace behind it, short and wide on off, Ruturaj Gaikwad frees his arms and keeps the shot along the ground. Hits it to the right of diving backward point fielder for a boundary. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Arshdeep Singh to Ruturaj Gaikwad, Four! |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Sam Curran to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! One bounce and a boundary! Same length, on middle and off, Ajinkya Rahane is inside his crease and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. The ball lands just a few meters before the ropes. |

| 5.6 : 5.6: Sam Curran to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! Elegance, pure elegance! On the top of off, keeps the length hard, Ajinkya Rahane cuts it well through point for another boundary. Just the kind of Powerplay Chennai was wishing for! End of the first six and they are cruising now at 55/0. |
| 8.2 : 8.2: Harpreet Brar to Ajinkya Rahane, OUT! c Rilee Rossouw b Harpreet Brar. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Harpreet Brar to Shivam Dube, OUT! LBW! A huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger! But Shivam Dube has straightaway reviewed it. Brar continues to come from around the wicket and drops it on the leg stump line, and gets it to turn into the batter as well on a fuller length. Dube gets down on his knee to slog it over the leg side but he plays over the wrong line and then pings his pad. UltraEdge shows no bat is involved and the Ball Tracker confirms the ball is pitching inside the stump |
| 9.5 : 9.5: Rahul Chahar to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! A confident appeal for LBW and again, the Umpire raises his finger! Ravindra Jadeja first walks away but then Ruturaj Gaikwad convinces him to challenge the decision! |

| 16.2 : 16.2: Sam Curran to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! A loosener from Curran. A high full toss outside off, Ruturaj Gaikwad waits and cuts it over point for a boundary. Uh, oh! The Umpire has called it a No Ball and Sam Curran has challenged the decision. The side-on replay with the ball trajectory shows that the ball is clearly above the waist height and it is calculated as a No Ball and Punjab burn a review here. Free Hit to follow. |
| 16.2: Sam Curran to Ruturaj Gaikwad, SIX! The first six of the evening and Ruturaj Gaikwad gets to another half-century. Short in length, across off, Ruturaj Gaikwad stays deep in the crease and smokes it up and handsome behind long on for a maximum. |

| 17.5 : 17.5: Arshdeep Singh to Ruturaj Gaikwad, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Excellent delivery to send the Chennai skipper into the hut! Cannons a toe-crushing yorker right on the middle and leg stump line, Ruturaj Gaikwad shuffles across the leg stump line to squeeze it out to the off side but he ends up giving himself too much room and fails to connect. The ball bamboozles the stumps in the blink of an eye. But an excellent captain's knock from Gaikwad. He departs on 62. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Rahul Chahar to Moeen Ali, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! What a sensational penultimate over this is turning out for Punjab! A gutsy call from Curran to bring Chahar and he does the trick. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Arshdeep Singh to MS Dhoni, FOUR! There comes the cracking boundary from MSD! A low full toss away from off, MS Dhoni muscles it though widish mid off and gets a boundary. No chance for the chasing fielder from long off as this has been smashed with sheer brute force. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Arshdeep Singh to MS Dhoni, SIX! And there she goes into the stands! Big and handsome and Chepauk is echoing to its fullest! Arshdeep Singh continues to bowl a low full toss outside off, MS Dhoni bends low and smashes it well over deep extra covers for a huge maximum. |

| 1.6 : 1.6: Richard Gleeson to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Spoils the over with a boundary! Aims the off stump on a slightly fuller length, Jonny Bairstow stays leg side of the ball and gets it through cover and mid off for a boundary. |

| 4.5 : 4.5: Mustafizur Rahman to Rilee Rossouw, FOUR! Hammered away! Outside off, full in length, Rilee Rossouw shuffles a bit on off and swipes it across and over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Mustafizur Rahman to Rilee Rossouw, FOUR! He's dealing in boundaries at the moment! Slower in pace and way short in length, outside off. Rilee Rossouw waits for the ball to come at him and climbs on the bounce before cutting it well over the point fielder for a boundary to end the over. Not a pleasing over for Chennai. |

Hits it flat and dips towards deep mid-wicket where Ravindra Jadeja comes charging in but fails to get the body behind the ball and concedes a boundary. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: Ravindra Jadeja to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Nicely cut away! Fractionally short by Jadeja, around off, Jonny Bairstow is quick to pick the length and goes on the back foot. Cuts it along the ground and beats the diving Sameer Rizvi at deep point to his left for a boundary. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Shivam Dube to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Shivam Dube breaks through for Chennai! The move to bring Dube into the attack has worked and this is a timely breakthrough for the hosts. |
