CSK batsmen had to struggle to score runs

CSK, who came to bat first after losing the toss, had a good start, the team scored 55 runs without losing any wicket in the powerplay. From here it seemed that the yellow team would once again be successful in making a big score. But then Chennai’s fall of wickets started. CSK got the first blow in the form of Rahane, who was out after scoring 29 runs in 24 balls.

After that, Shivam Dubey was out on a golden duck on the next ball without opening the account. After this, Ravindra Jadeja, who came to bat at number four, went on after scoring 2 runs in four balls. After this, Sameer Rizvi, who came to bat as an impact player, tried to handle the innings with captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, but he could not make much impact.
