- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.6 Another slower ball, Dhoni settles underneath this skier. Saha has done his job for GT. Chahar takes pace off. Legcutter from Chahar, Saha aims to manufacture pace and slog it over the leg side. He can only top-edge it behind to Dhoni. Time for another time-out in Ahmedabad 131/26.6 Has Jadeja got rid of Gill? Yes, indeed. Fast turn for Jadeja. Flatter and breaks away outside off, the fuller length draws Gill forward and the turn takes it past the outside edge. Dhoni collects the ball and whips the bails off in a flash. Bam! Gill can't drag his back leg in time as he loses his balance. CSK strike after the powerplay. 300 T20 dismissals for Dhoni in his 250th IPL game 67/119.3 Sai has been given out lbw. This looks out. He goes for a review. Just short of a yorker length and slings in to ping the front pad just above the boot. Struck in front of middle. The tracker returns three reads. Sai has to go. Nevertheless, this was a sublime innings. The incoming
TewatiaRashid taps his gloves 212/319.6 Holes out to long-on last ball. Slot ball outside off, but Rashid can't clear the outfielder. Rashid clears his front leg and hits it in the air.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.3 wrong'un, dangled across Gaikwad and pitching outside off before turning further away. Don't know if he picked it, and if he did he's been done in the air by some dip. Looks to go over long-on, ends up getting a top-edge that skews high in the air before Rashid settles under it at backward point 74/16.6 Noor bags his second of the over. What an over. Back of a length, and this one turns away from Conway, and it stops on him as well. Lets out a yell of frustration after mishitting it straight down long-off's throat. Was probably looking to hit it over extra-cover off the back foot, not an easy shot to play at all 78/210.5 gone. Mohit's lack of pace gets another wicket. Back of a length, outside off, it's there for the slash over point in everry way except it's the back-of-the-hand slowie. Stops on Rahane, and he ends up punching it in the air and straight to the man at deep point 117/312.4 gone, but what a terrific little cameo to end his IPL career. Quick, hard length, on the stumps, and Rayudu, looking to go over long-on, ends up slicing the ball with his bat turning in his hand. No distance on it, and he pops back the simplest of return catches 149/412.5 and he's gone first ball! He was out caught at extra-cover in Qualifer 1, and he's out caught at extra-cover in the final. Full, it's there to drive over extra-cover, but he doesn't get the elevation he wants, and the ball ends up in the safe hands of David Miller.
