END OF OVER:
20 | 15 Runs 1 Wkt | CSK: 156/6 | RR: 7.80

  • Ruturaj Gaikwad88 (58b)
  • Shardul Thakur1 (1b)
  • Jasprit Bumrah4-0-33-2
  • Trent Boult4-1-35-2

Abhishek Gupta: "These kind of innings spark the the transformation from boy to man. Well played Ruturaj."

7.48pm From 24 for 4 in the powerplay (effectively five down) to 156 for 6 - CSK have the momentum going into the break.

112 runs in the last 10 overs showed that the demons are all in the mind. If you can see off the new ball, Gaikwad (and Bravo) showed that you can definitely hit the big shots. As the ball got older, none of Bumrah, Milne or Boult were spared. The confidence that Gaikwad will get with 88 on a day that du Plessis, Moeen, Rayudu, Raina and Dhoni scored just seven runs combined is unparalleled.

The way Mumbai's seamers ruled the powerplay makes CSK's template easy. Deepak Chahar and Josh Hazlewood will be crucial with the new ball. Can CSK defend this? Find out with us after the break.

Gaikwad: "Tired, but happy that we can put a total to fight. When wickets were falling, I was trying to protect my wicket and attack only off spinners. It is a two-paced wicket, and a bit of slow turn."

Ritz: "Hail the Hero.... Ruturaj!!!"

Bumrah to Gaikwad, SIX, the audacity! Full and wide outside off but Gaikwad goes forward, gets low, and plays a flick-sweep over square leg for six! Unbeaten on 88, an innings that CSK desperately needed, and CSK finish on 156 for 6
19.5
1
Bumrah to Thakur, 1 run, full just outside off. Just goes for a leg-side slog. Ball rolls away to deep midwicket and that's 150 for CSK!

Bumrah to Gaikwad, 1 leg bye, that's pinned him on his boot but impact outside off stump. Ruturaj tried to go across and play over square leg, but Bumrah got that spot on

Bumrah to Gaikwad, FOUR, excellent timing. Full just outside off. Gaikwad presses forward, gets down on one knee, and hits a beautiful drive over cover. Teases the outfielders en route to the boundary.
19.2
W
Bumrah to Bravo, OUT, holes out. But Bravo has played an excellent cameo. Bumrah goes for the length ball that angles in from wide of the crease. Bravo can't make room, looks to loft it over cover, but slices it to the fielder inside the circle

Boult to Gaikwad, SIX, 24 off the over! And CSK have crossed 141. How about that? Like Milne's last ball of the spell, Boult's goes for a six too. Tries a yorker around leg stump, overpitches it, and the full toss has been clipped off his pads for six over cow corner. For a brief second it looked like Gaikwad may be caught out in the deep, but the ball just travelled.

18 off the over so far.

Gaurav Sundararaman tells me, "boult in death is opposite of boult in PP... should always finish his overs upfront"

18.5
1
Boult to Bravo, 1 run, yorker length almost. On middle and off. Digs it away to deep extra cover for one
18.4
6
Boult to Bravo, SIX, that deserved to be put away. Short ball, slower ball, and Bravo was almost expecting that length. Stays in his crease, stands tall, and pulls it over deep midwicket for another half-a-dozen
18.3
6
Boult to Bravo, SIX, bottom hand gets the elevation and the distance! In the slot, on middle stump. Bravo uses his wrists to get the bat under the ball, and sends it soaring over the off side fence

Boult to Gaikwad, 1 run, full on middle and leg. Plays an inside out drive to deep extra cover for one
18.1
4
Boult to Gaikwad, FOUR, misses the yorker on leg stump by around an inch, but that's good enough for Gaikwad. Plays a "sweep-like" shot off his toes, and hits it square enough to beat fine leg!

Bumrah to bowl the 19th.

Milne to Bravo, SIX, classic Bravo! Back of a length outside off with the pace taken off. Bravo skips down, and slices an inside-out flayed shot over wide long off for six. Milne still finishes with a very respectable 2-21 in his four. But that six made it a good over for CSK.

just 4 off the over. One ball to go.

17.5
1
Milne to Gaikwad, 1 run, slower ball, good length, fairly wide. Throws his hands at it to slap a cut to deep point

Sarah : "Don't want anyone in the New Zealand's World Cup squad to get injured but I would love to see Milne play in the World Cup "

17.4
1
Milne to Bravo, 1 run, good length just outside off. Slower ball, angling in with the arm. Guides a cut to short third man

Shubham : "That's more than a mini battle given the recency bias. Bravo has just beaten Pollard in CPL finals."

17.3
1
Milne to Gaikwad, 1 run, full just outside off. Comes down the ground and mistimes a sloggy shot down to long on
17.2

Milne to Bravo, 1 run, full on middle. Bravo stays on the back foot and flicks it to long on down the ground

Milne to bowl out.

END OF OVER:

  • Dwayne Bravo0 (0b)
  • Jasprit Bumrah3-0-19-1
  • Kieron Pollard2-0-15-0

Bumrah to Gaikwad, no run, yorker attempted. Ends up as a low full toss angling into off. Flicked to square leg

Bravo is here. Pollard captaining today, remember. These two always have a mini-battle going on.

16.4
W
Bumrah to Jadeja, OUT, around the stumps. Full ball outside off. Jadeja clears the front leg and tries to hit a big shot over Bumrah's head but he's sliced it since Bumrah had taken the pace off. Pollard at long off gets under it, and pockets a catch with ease. An important 26 from Jadeja given the innings' situation when he walked in

RA Jadeja c Pollard b Bumrah 26 (48m 33b 1x4 0x6) SR: 78.78

1
Bumrah to Gaikwad, 1 run, cuts this length ball away to point
16.2

Bumrah to Gaikwad, SIX, full and wide. And it's the slower ball too but Gaikwad's timing is so on point. Adjusted his shot late to meet the ball a microsecond later, and lifted it over long off!
16.1
0
Bumrah to Gaikwad, no run, Gaikwad trying to be creative but can't pull it off. It's a wide yorker, and Gaikwad looks to scoop one over the slip cordon by stretching his hands out. No connection

Four overs to go. Forty more takes CSK to 138. Bumrah.
