9pm Chahar's uninterrupted four-over burst at the top has helped CSK pin down Punjab Kings to 106 for 8. Here he is: "I think there was a bit more seam than swing. We bowled in the right areas. Absolutely, last year was difficult for all of us and I had Covid. I had to stay in quarantine for at least 28 days and then after four days I had to play. This year we trained well and the last game was a bit of a wake-up call for us. Things went our way. I think the pitch will stay the same. I think we will have to score 107 and it'll be easy for us."

Divyank Singh: "@DK they have Shami, Richardson and Meredith!"
