MS Dhoni hits a stunning one-handed six to Yuzvendra Chahal

PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer was well aware of the struggles of MS Dhoni against Yuzvendra Chahal, and he saved the overs of the veteran leg-spinner for the last.

As MS Dhoni came to the middle, Shreyas Iyer introduced Yuzvendra Chahal in the attack in the 19th over. Chahal started off the over with a wide, and then he bowled a full ball on off-stump to Dhoni, who shuffled down the track and smashed it one-handed over long-on for a six.

That was when Ravindra Jadeja stole the limelight with a cheeky act. The ball landed near the CSK dugout, where Ravindra Jadeja came forward to take the catch casually.

Jadeja was quite thrilled after taking the catch, and he hilariously celebrated, drawing laughter and applause from the players and fans.

Meanwhile, Chahal bounced back strong to dismiss MS Dhoni on the next ball. It was the fourth time Chahal dismissed MS Dhoni in the IPL in 82 balls.

Ravindra Jadeja fails with the bat

The star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja once again came to bat at the No.4 spot and he was unable to play a good innings, getting out for 12-ball 17.

During an interaction on ESPNCricinfo ahead of the match, Ambati Rayudu talked about the idea of Ravindra Jadeja getting an opportunity to bat at the No.4 spot. He said that the all-rounder looks confused when he bats at the No.4 position and shouldn't be promoted by the team management. He said:

"See, Jadeja is someone who has always batted well from 15th to the 20th over. He has done that. He knows the patterns of batting those last 30 balls. So, suddenly when he comes up the order, he looked a little confused.

"He still wanted to get to that 15th over and then take on the bowler. So, he is not someone that would come on and take on the bowling right away. So, it is very, very important that you get players who can do that.

"So, Brevis is coming to the side now. Maybe he can get in there. And also, Dube. Dube, strangely, has done the same thing in the last game. Maybe he could have gone a little earlier in terms of big hitting. So, I think it's just a little mindset shift that they need to get in."

Meanwhile, Aaron Finch was on the same page as Ambati Rayudu, and he said:

"Yeah, I think that it's probably the wrong move. Because, like Rayudu said, Jadeja is somebody who knows how to navigate the last few overs. He's never been a player that has had a high strike rate in his first 10 balls."
