MS Dhoni is playing his 200th match for CSK.
MS Dhoni won the toss and chose to bowl first. The decision proved to spot on as CSK got a brilliant start with the bowl from the start with Deepak Chahar and Ravindra Jadeja being the heroes.
Mayank Agarwal was bowled for a duck by a beautiful delivery by Deepak Chahar in the very first over, while KL Rahul got run out thanks to the brilliance of Ravindra Jadeja who scored a direct hit. Chris Gayle looked dangerous for his 10 runs but was caught nicely by Jadeja off Chahar.
Chahar finished his 4-over spell by further adding the wickets of Deepak Hooda for 10 and Nicholas Pooran for a duck, finishing his quota with figures of 4/13 and left PBKS reeling at 26/5 in 7 overs.
Ravindra Jadeja proved to be the common factor in the dismissals of two of the PBKS mainstays in Captain KL Rahul and Chris Gayle.
Then, Chris Gayle edged a full delivery from Deepak Chahar towards the backward point and Jadeja was present there to take an amazing diving catch and sent the dangerous-looking West Indian back for 10 runs.
