- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 skied that down the ground and Siraj takes it nicely over his head! That went really high into the sky with the sun beating down, Siraj is not wearing shades, but he's pedaling back with eyes glued to the ball. And he stretches his arms full length over his head to get both to it. His captain races to him for a hug and pat on the back 44/113.3 bowled him! Rashid finally strikes. He bowled this on a fullish length, getting it to dip just about on off. The ball turned in, and Conway was too early into his attempted slog sweep. I think the ball was slower too, as Conway swung his bat early and missed. So it will be two new batters at the crease for CSK now 156/49.2 leading edge and Gill settles under it! Patel is attacking everything, and this time Sai Kishore replies with a slightly shorter length once the batter comes down so that he can't reach the pitch of the ball. The ball, as a result, turns before it reaches Patel and his wild swing results in a leading edge towards cover where Gill goes back to gobble it with his shades on 107/212.3 gone! The ball flies to the long-on fielder. Just one ball after being hit for six, Shahrukh gets CSK's big six-hitter. Pretty full from Shahrukh - and slower too - as the ball dipped on middle and off. Dube went heaving at it, but the length seemed to be too full for that shot. Despite that, though, the ball was hit hard and flat, but exactly where Coetzee was waiting for it 144/319.6 taken by Buttler, as he ends halfway towards where the deep-third fielder was present. Prasidh bowls another short ball, but this climbs up nicely just outside off. Brevis went pulling, but got a top edge flying back over the wicket 230/5Extras12 (lb 7, w 5)TOTAL230/5 (20 Overs, RR: 11.5)Fall of wickets: 1-44 (Ayush Mhatre, 3.4 ov), 2-107 (Urvil Patel, 9.2 ov), 3-144 (Shivam Dube, 12.3 ov), 4-156 (Devon Conway, 13.3 ov), 5-230 (Dewald Brevis, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.4 the set batter is also gone, the table-toppers are crumbling against the team ranked last. Outside off, bit of turn, and Sai Sudharsan wants to carve this inside out over the 30-yard circle but he can't do that successfully, handling the simplest of catches to point 86/52.3 edged to slip and Kamboj has struck! Gill comes down again, Kamboj pitches on length again outside off and the ball nearly holds its line to surprise Gill, leading to a thick edge to first slip 24/13.4 he charges again and he has holed out to deep third! The pressure mounts with two off the first three balls. Buttler dances down, Khaleel sticks to his stifling line around off and it leads to a leading edge off Buttler's swing and Kamboj settles under it nicely well inside the rope 29/24.3 one more gone, CSK are running hot! Rutherford goes after the shorter ball, but he doesn't get hold of this pull and the teenager Mhatre does well to go to his left from mid on and get both hands to it. What a start from CSK! 30/310.1 thick edge to short third and it's taken after a juggle! Pathirana the fielder at the edge of the circle, waiting for the ball after SRK's swipe leads to a thick edge. His first attempt is over his head, then in front of his chest for the juggle and then he finally holds on 85/415.3 slashed to extra cover! Dube there is paced right at the edge of the circle, and takes it in his lap. Noor gave the ball some flight, and went full and wide of off. Tewatia reached out, and looked to go over the in field, but couldn't time or place it well enough 126/812.5 taken by Urvil, who was at long-on, but had to come in a big way to catch it. That was nearly dropped, though, as he seemed to have overrun. Yup, he had to move back to take it eventually. Noor tossed this up at Rashid, and went full on middle and off. The ball dipped on to Rashid, who went slogging across the line again. But this time the ball skied up - he seemed to have misread the slower ball - and Urvil completed the take 105/613.4 bowled him! The leg stump comes off. Short of a length on middle, and the ball seams back in slightly to hit the leg stump. It kept a bit low too, and Coetzee was beaten as he looked to push forward. I think both the movement back in and the lack of bounce must have played a role there 110/717.3 bowled him! Finally CSK end Arshad's party. On the fuller side of a length, and just outside off. This time the ball did turn, and came back in. Arshad looked to have another big hoick across the line, and missed. The ball went on to clatter into the stumps 142/918.3 Dhoni ends the game by taking the catch to his right!! Is this the final time he has ever done that in the IPL? We might not know that for another year, and that'll be thrill of it all, I think. Short delivery from Kamboj around middle and leg, as Sai Kishore went for the pull but got a top edge. Simple catch for Dhoni, as his side end IPL 2025 with an 83-run win, although that isn't enough for them to not finish last 147/10Extras12 (lb 2, w 10)TOTAL147 all out (18.3 Overs, RR: 7.94)Did not bat: M Prasidh KrishnaFall of wickets: 1-24 (Shubman Gill, 2.3 ov), 2-29 (Jos Buttler, 3.4 ov), 3-30 (Sherfane Rutherford, 4.3 ov), 4-85 (M Shahrukh Khan, 10.1 ov), 5-86 (Sai Sudharsan, 10.4 ov), 6-105 (Rashid Khan, 12.5 ov), 7-110 (Gerald Coetzee, 13.4 ov), 8-126 (Rahul Tewatia, 15.3 ov), 9-142 (Arshad Khan, 17.3 ov), 10-147 (Sai Kishore, 18.3 ov)
