13.4 taken on the fence, and the Priyansh Arya show is over! But what a show it was! Breathtaking at every moment, and just as belligerent to knock the stuffing out of CSK! Tossed up full just outside off. Seems like the googly and this cramps Arya a little as he tries to slog it over long on. Off the inside half of the bat and Shankar snares the chance at long on. A standing ovation as Arya walks off, and pretty sure there will be countless people at home standing in front of their TV sets and phone/laptop screens doing the same! 154/6

1.2 chopped on, and Choudhary has instant redemption! Back of a length just outside off and this curves back in late. Prabhsimran, going walkabouts down the track, looks to dab it away but the lack of room does for him. Gets a thick inside edge and finds his leg stump flattened soon after. Choudhary has a wicket, and CSK have some respite after being carted all over the park in the opening over! 17/1

2.4 off stump goes cartwheeling, and Khaleel has produced an absolute corker to take down the PBKS captain! Khaleel is absolutely pumped, and why wouldn't he be. This starts on a fullish length just outside off and then swerves back in sharply. Shreyas looks to drive down the ground and is all at sea as the ball whistles past his inside edge. Off stump left in an absolute mess, and CSK have two wickets in two overs now! 32/2

4.6 in the air again, and this time, CSK do hold on! Khaleel glides like an airplane while staring down Stoinis, and CSK have three in the powerplay! Back of a length in the channel and this one nips away with the angle. Stoinis was probably playing for the ball coming in, and closed his bat face too early, trying to work to leg. Tame leading edge and Conway makes no mistake at backward point. Stoinis throws his head back in disappointment; Khaleel anything but a picture of disappointment! 54/3

7.2 goes straight up, and Dhoni was not going to drop that! Not in a million years! Fired across the batter on a length outside off. Wadhera swings his blade like an axe and while he might have scythed through a tree, he cannot get purchase on this. Only gets height, that too off the outside half of the bat, and Dhoni calls early to do the rest. Ashwin is pleased, and Wadhera has to walk back! 81/4

7.6 Ashwin pulls off a stunner off his own bowling, and now he is properly overjoyed! Carrom ball, slowed up on a length on the stumps. Maxwell backs away, trying to blast that through Ashwin. Picks Ashwin out to perfection and the bowler, after a bit of a bobble, holds on. Ashwin will not mind one bit. CSK will not mind one bit. And Maxwell cannot believe what has just happened. Half of the PBKS side now back in the shed! 83/5

6.3 Ravindra runs past one, and CSK's opening stand has come to an end, as soon as the powerplay got over! Fizzed in on a back of a length outside off. Bowled at 97.1kph but that still gripped and spun. Maxwell, perhaps, also anticipated the charge and Ravindra, swiping at it in an ungainly fashion, could only swat away a few flies. Sharp work by Prabhsimran, and CSK are one down! 61/1

17.5 Bang! Dhoni goes big, and he finally gets one out of the middle! Slower ball on a back of a length outside off. Dhoni picks the slower one early, swings at it with all his might and smokes it over long off! 171/4

7.2 goneski! Gaikwad bites the dust, and CSK's chase hits another enormous snag! Back of a length just outside off. Holds a little in the surface and Gaikwad, looking to punch on the up, mistimes it. Arrows off the inside hafl of the bat and Shashank snaffles it up smartly at short mid wicket. CSK lose two in quick succession, and PBKS tighten their grip on this contest! 62/2

15.5 Ferguson knocks over the bails, and the pressure pays off for the Punjab Kings! Slower ball on a back of a length on middle stump. Dube swings like a rusty gate and swings at it at least a week early. Done all ends up by the knuckle-ball, and the middle stump bail has been whipped off. Big, big wicket, and Dube, after a cameo, falls with the asking run-rate climbing! 151/3

19.1 Dhoni bites the dust, and Thakur holds his arms aloft! Shreyas cannot believe it, Dhoni cannot believe it, and countless CSK fans cannot believe it either! The great man walks off for a 12-ball 27, and that could be that for CSK tonight! Low full toss a mile outside leg. On most days, Dhoni would have plundered that for six. Tonight, he hits it straight to Chahal at short fine leg, who after a bobble, holds on. CSK hearts sink, and PBKS hearts jump up and roar in delight! 192/5
