Jadeja’s miserly spell
Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja put an all-round show. After scoring 21, he took 1/19 in four overs at an economy rate of just 4.75.
Six 20s
Six CSK batters (Ruturaj Gaikwad 24, Ajinkya Rahane 21, Dube 25, Ambati Rayudu 23, Jadeja 21, MS Dhoni 20) had 20-plus scores with the team’s highest being 25. It was that kind of a wicket that run-making was not easy.
Rayudu’s milestone game
CSK batter Ambati Rayudu played in his 200th IPL match on Wednesday night. He played majority of the games (114) for Mumbai Indians (MI). He scored 21 off 16 in his milestone match.
Lalit’s sensational catch
DC’s off-spinner Lalit Yadav pulled off a one-handed stunning catch off his own bowling to dismiss Ajinkya Rahane. He dived to his right where the non-striker (Shivam Dube) was standing, and completed a sensational take.
23-run over
In the 14th over bowled by Lalit, Dube smashed two sixes in a row while Rayudu hit a four and a six. CSK scored 23 off the over.
Dhoni’s sixes
Once again a sea of yellow was at the MA Chidambaram Stadium and there were chants of ‘Dhoni, Dhoni’ and the CSK captain did not disappoint. Dhoni smashed two sixes in one over Khaleel Ahmed and scored a 9-ball 20. He was out in the last over, caught by his counterpart David Warner off Mitchell Marsh.
