CSK innings in this match vs SRH
Mukesh Choudhary, who came in as an impact player for CSK’s batting hero Shivam Dube this time was at an awfully off-target row of poor innings, conceding 27 runs in the only over he bowled, second of the innings. It must have been a terrible sight for the CSK fans who screamed at the top of their lungs of their yellow team.
Earlier, Chennai started well but clever bowling by Pat Cummins slowed him down towards the end of the match. With six wickets in hand, Super Kings could only manage 38 runs in the last five overs a very low number for that team and for the loss of Daryl Mitchell’s wicket, the fall of which triggered the loudest cheer, for it meant MS Dhoni would walk in to bat, with just three balls remaining even straight sixes couldn’t support Chennais imminent loss.
The Superstar he is the man- MS Dhoni came into some extra light generated by the flashlights of fans’ phones, played and missed the first ball he faced from T. Natarajan.
