In reply to Narper

wait, they gave the captaincy back to Dhoni?

2.5
Arshdeep Singh to Shaik Rasheed, out Caught by Shashank Singh!! Wild slog from Rasheed and he perishes as Arshdeep hits right back! Good length delivery angling away from off, he looks to hack it over midwicket but only manages to slice it off the outside half. Goes high in the air and it's a simple catch at cover.

Shaik Rasheed c Shashank Singh b Arshdeep Singh 11(12) [4s-1 6s-1]

3.1
Marco Jansen to Ayush Mhatre, out Caught by Shreyas Iyer!! Right off the toe-end and gone! CSK's struggles at the top of the order continue. Good length delivery angling away, Mhatre looks to slap it down the ground but gets it right off the bottom of his bat. Spoons it in the air to the left of mid-off and Iyer takes a good catch running across.

Ayush Mhatre c Shreyas Iyer b Marco Jansen 7(6) [4s-1]

Azmatullah to Brevis, out Bowled!! That's an ugly shot and Brevis has to walk back! Punjab have got a breakthrough straight after the timeout.

17.4
Marco Jansen to Sam Curran, out Caught by Josh Inglis!! Jansen gets rid of Curran! All very anti-climatic this as no one other than the keeper was even appealing, took everyone a second to realise what had happened. Banged in short on off-stump, Sam Curran tried to crouch and get out of the way but couldn't get his bat down in time, just took a little feather on its way through to the keeper and Curran dragged himself off slowly. Superb knock though. Loud cheers at the fall of a CSK wicket at Chepauk can mean only one thing though.

Sam Curran c Josh Inglis b Marco Jansen 88(47) [4s-9 6s-4]

17.5
Marco Jansen to Dhoni, FOUR, MSD starts with a boundary! Streaky one at that though, Jansen decides to test him with a bouncer first up, Dhoni is a little late in taking it on, he gets a litte top-edge and it flies over the keeper

18.1
Chahal to Dhoni, SIX, high, far and caught by Jadeja outside the ropes! Full on off-stump, Dhoni shuffles down the track and lofts it high over long-on

18.2
Chahal to Dhoni, out Caught by Nehal Wadhera!!

Dhoni c Nehal Wadhera b Chahal 11(4) [4s-1 6s-1]

Chahal to Hooda, out Caught by Priyansh Arya!! Chahal will get another one! Vintage Chahal this, he gets a lot of wickets like this. He floats it out full and wide outside off, entices the batter to go after it and he doesn't get any of it. Just slices it tamely towards backward point and its taken easily. So CSK losing their way just a little towards the end here.
Hooda c Priyansh Arya b Chahal 2(2)

18.5
Chahal to Anshul Kamboj, out Bowled!! Straight through him! Chahal has suddenly got a third. Length delivery fast and straight on middle, Anshul Kamboj pressed back and played all around it looking to work it into the leg-side. It skidded through and rattled the stumps. CSK are 8 down in no time and Chahal is on a hat-trick.
Anshul Kamboj b Chahal 0(1)

18.6
Chahal to Noor Ahmad, out Caught by Marco Jansen!! And he gets it! Yuzvendra Chahal has a hat-trick! Floated up full on off-stump, Noor Ahmad looks to take him downtown but he skews it straight up in the air.
Noor Ahmad c Marco Jansen b Chahal 0(1)
