  • Ruturaj Gaikwad108 (60b)
  • Marcus Stoinis4-0-49-0
  • Mohsin Khan4-0-50-1

9.20pm Gaikwad goes out to a big applause. He has scored 108 off exactly half the legal deliveries bowled to CSK. The rest of the innings has scored 102 despite the Jadeja struggle. Thanks to Dube. The pitch hasn't been as slow as the pitch report suggested. The LSG tactics and fieldinfg were not the sharpest.

"Definitely enjoyed it," says Dube. "The support from the crowd is amazing. This crowd pushes me a little more. I thougght Rutu was playing from a long time so I thought he needed one over to recover so I went first. We are at least 10 runs above par on this surface. I enjoyed watching Rutu bat."

Well Ashish Pant will put Dube's words to the test when we are back with the chase.

Stoinis to Dhoni, FOUR, he bhas converted the yorker into a full toss by staying deep in his crease, and whacks this over midwicket for a four. Doesn't get all of it but enough still to hit a boundary

This place is going wild. Third and fine leg up in the circle. Dhoni deep in the crease as Stoinis runs in

1
Stoinis to Gaikwad, 1 run, huge roar as Gaikwad mis-hits for just a single. Shuffles across, Stoinis follows him with a wide yorker. Just the single. Dhoni on strike

Can you hear this at the Marina Beach? MS Dhoni has come out to bat for two balls, might not even get the strike, but Chepauk is going bananas at the sight of their Thala in batting pads. Can Gaikwad just play along and take just a single? Or three

Stoinis to Dube, OUT, full and wide, out of his swinging arc, hit straight to extra cover. Gaikwad this time says he wants the strike back. Dube is caught short at the non-striker's end. Gine for 66 off 27. Huge roar in the ground because they are expecting Dhoni with two balls to go

S Dube run out 66 (41m 27b 3x4 7x6) SR: 244.44

Stoinis to Dube, 2 runs, short, wide, high, upper-cut to the left of deep third for another couple
19.2
2
Stoinis to Dube, 2 runs, draws the mis-hit with the bouncer but the mis-hit is so big it falls well short of long-on. Gaikwad is willing to sacrifice his wicket to get Dube on strike, but QdeK misses by a long way

Around the wicket

6
Stoinis to Dube, SIX, out of the screws. Stoinis does the right thing. Into the pitch, outside off, but Dube still smashes the pull shot rows behind deep midwicket for a six

Stoinis has to bowl the last over because the spinners weren't used early when they had their match-ups going for them. Over the wicket to Dube

Mohsin Khan to Gaikwad, no run, slower length ball, big swing from Gaikwad and he misses
18.5
1
Mohsin Khan to Dube, 1 run, another drop, this time from a man not used to keeping but who must field because the captain insists on keeping. Hit high to extra cover, where QdeK drops another catch for LSG
18.4
6
Mohsin Khan to Dube, SIX, slower ball, wide, on a length, and Dube has somehow smashed it for a flat six straight of long-on. Everything must go. Dube gets to his fifty
18.3
4
Mohsin Khan to Dube, FOUR, wide half-volley with a deep cover in place, but Dube has drilled it straight of that man. Uff what power. Deep cover doesn't have much to move, but he still can't catch up

George: "When will captains learn that umpires protect each other? Unless it is a couple of feet out, wide calls will always stay with the field umpire."

Mohsin Khan to Dube, no run, full, outside off, drilled to extra cover for a dot

Mohsin Khan to Dube, SIX, huge six. Short of a length, sits up, Dube is in too good a form to miss out. Pulls it well over cow corner

Mohsin to bowl out now

END OF OVER:

Akshay: "that 17.3 six from Rutu was very Dhoni-esque!"

Yash Thakur to Gaikwad, no run, gets the wide yorker right, dub out back to Thakur
17.5

Yash Thakur to Gaikwad, FOUR, LSG's shocker in the field continues. Thakur draws top edge on the bouncer, but Bishnoi has run in too far at deep midwicket, and has to backtrack and makes a mess of this
17.4

Yash Thakur to Gaikwad, FOUR, that's Gaikwad's hundred. In just 56 balls. His second IPL hundred. Thakur misses his wide yorker again. Gaikwad gets a half-volley, which he drives over extra cover. Removes his helmet and holds his arms aloft. Bat in one hand, helmet in the other

Around the wicket now

17.3

Yash Thakur to Gaikwad, SIX, full and straight. Misses the yorker by a foot, and that's all Gaikwad needs to smash it over long-on for a six. Moves to 99
17.2

Yash Thakur to Dube, 1 run, goes for the wide yorker again, ends up bowling a low fullie, Dube gets a thick edge, and the short third is fine enough to field this

Yash Thakur to Dube, no run, nails the wide yorker now. Beats him. Gets a dot
17.1
1w
Yash Thakur to Dube, 1 wide, wide yorker, but just too wide. Rahul is wondering if it should be reviewed. Long debate with the umpire for some reason. Finally the umpire accepts the review. Dube's back foot is marginally outside off when the bowler releases. The ball is just outside the wide line. "Nothing conclusive to overturn the on-field call," says the third umpire

Thakur to bowl out

END OF OVER:
17 | 8 Runs | CSK: 162/3 | RR: 9.52

Mohsin Khan to Gaikwad, no run, full and wide, beats Gaikwad's attempt to play the sweep to capitalise on the strong off-side field. Goode comeback from Mohsin to end up with just eight off the over
16.5

Mohsin Khan to Dube, 1 run, slower ball, short of a length, wide outside off, punched to deep cover for one

Mohsin has come back well after the first-ball six, but now is the challenge: Dube on strike. The camera shows Dhoni, and the crowd goes wild. Dhoni asks the camera to move away. Mohsin stays over the wicket

Mohsin Khan to Gaikwad, 1 run, wide length ball, just the single
