CHENNAI SUPER KINGS

Sanju Samson: 5 – Got the team off to a blistering start before being caught behind off Pat Cummins. (27 runs off 13 balls – 5 fours, 1 six)

Ruturaj Gaikwad:2 – Was a muted presence, struggling to find his usual fluency before falling to Cummins. (15 runs off 21 balls – 0 fours, 0 sixes)

Urvil Patel: 4 – Had a brief but high-impact cameo, smashing two big hits early on before being clean-bowled by Sakib Hussain. (13 runs off 8 balls – 2 sixes)

Kartik Sharma: 5 – Kept the momentum alive through the middle overs with a brisk knock before Nitish Kumar Reddy caught him off Cummins. (32 runs off 19 balls – 3 fours, 2 sixes)

Dewald Brevis: 5.5 – Anchored the back half of the innings and emerged as the top-scorer for CSK with a flurry of sixes before being cleaned up by Eshan Malinga. (44 runs off 27 balls – 2 fours, 4 sixes)

Shivam Dube: 4 – Played a steady supporting role to Brevis, before struggling to push on in the death overs. (26 runs off 23 balls – 3 fours, 1 six)

Prashant Veer: 4 – Struck two boundaries late in the death overs to chip in with quick runs before being caught and bowled by Praful Hinge on the final ball. (11 runs off 9 balls – 2 fours, 0 sixes)

Akeal Hosein: 6 – Picked up the wicket of Abhishek Sharma and restricted the scoring rate. Wasn’t given a final over. (3 off 1 ball and 1/21 in 3 overs)

Noor Ahmad: 4 – The Afghan spinner’s dismissal of Klaasen came a little too late and he was also slightly expensive in his spell. (1/40 in 4 overs)

Anshul Kamboj: 3.5 – The wicket of Ishan Kishan in his final over was merely a consolation. Missed his lengths frequently and proved to be expensive. (1/46 in 4 overs)

Spencer Johnson: 4 – Went wicketless in the game, but displayed good control with the ball during the PowerPlay. (0/26 in 3 overs)

Mukesh Choudhary: 6 – Excellent opening spell in the Powerplay where he curtailed the run flow and picked up the wicket of Travis Head. (2/36 in 4 overs)
