Chennai Super Kings were asked to bat first and they didn't have a great start with the bat. Ajinkya Rahane perished early as he scored just 1 run and after that, Daryl Mitchell (11) looked scratchy at the crease as the home team lost two early wickets at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. 

Ravindra Jadeja (16) and Ruturaj Gaikwad then bailed the team out of trouble with their 52-run partnership. The wicket of Jadeja was a blessing in disguise for the team as Shivam Dube changed the course of the game with his brutal power-hitting.
