| Rahul Tripathi | 81 | 51 | 8 | 3 | 158.82 |
|
16.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Right then, Chennai have got the dangerous Tripathi and might have put the plug on a good deal of runs here. Excellent field placement from Dhoni again. Very full length delivery outside off, Tripathi looked to jam it out. However, he ends up digging it out towards Watson at short third man. The umpires wanted to have a look whether it went to the fielder on the full. Replays indicate so and Chennai have snared a big one here. 140/6

| Shubman Gill | 11 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 91.66 |
|
4.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Yes, a faint nick. Shubman Gill has to go and go pretty early. On a good length outside off, Shubman goes for the pull shot. It takes a faint bottom edge and goes low to Dhoni. The Chennai skipper bends and takes it well. 37/1
|

| Nitish Rana | 9 | 10 | 1 | 0 | 90 |
|
8.1 OUT! CAUGHT! 12 runs off Karn's first over and now he gets a wicket. It was a good catch in the deep, even though it looked simple. Flighted around off, Nitish goes for the slog sweep. Gets it high in the air at deep mid-wicket. Ravindra Jadeja there takes a simple catch. 70/2
|

| Sunil Narine | 17 | 9 | 1 | 1 | 188.88 |
|
11 OUT! CAUGHT! Spectacular catch this, something we have seen a lot earlier in this edition. Floated around off, Sunil looks to heave that over mid-wicket. Jadeja at the deep runs to his right, dives and takes the catch. However, thinking he would end up touching the ropes, he flicks it further to du Plessis who came there from long on. The umpires have a look and then decide it was a clean catch in the end. Fantastic stuff! 98/3

| Eoin Morgan | 7 | 10 | 1 | 0 | 70 |
|
14 OUT! CAUGHT! Morgan does not even bother to lift his head. Walks back. Short length delivery on top of middle and leg, Morgan looks to pull but gets it off his gloves. It goes behind and Dhoni takes it safely. 114/4
|
|||||
| Andre Russell | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 50 |
|
15.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Shardul Thakur has another one. Another of those faintest of edges. Short ball outside off, Russell swivels in his crease and looks to pull. Gets the faintest of outside edges. It goes behind and the Chennai skipper takes it with ease. 128/5
|

| Dinesh Karthik C Wk | 12 | 11 | 1 | 0 | 109.09 |
|
19 OUT! CAUGHT! He had to go at this stage, Dinesh Karthik. Cannot fault him for that. Back of a length delivery outside off, the Kolkata skipper slashes at it. However it goes straight to Shardul Thakur at third man. Thakur fumbles on the first take but manages to hold on in the second. Chennai doing well to contain the scoring in the end here. 162/7

| Kamlesh Nagarkoti | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
19.2 OUT! Caught! The slower one does the trick. Bravo uses his experience and follows the quick bouncer with a slower ball which is on a length. Nagarkoti looks to hit it over mid off but ends up chipping it straight to the man. Du Plessis is never going to drop these. 163/8

| Shivam Mavi | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
19.5 OUT! Caught! Brilliant catch from Dhoni! Fuller outside off, Mavi swings but gets a thick outside edge. Dhoni had one of his glove off as he wanted to deny them a bye. The ball goes to his right. He gets his one glove and the other hand to it. The ball lobs and goes away, so MS wears his superman cape and dives to finish the catch. 166/9

| Varun Chakaravarthy | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 100 |
|
20 OUT! RUN OUT! Another fantastic work from MS Dhoni! Low full toss on the pads, Varun flicks it towards deep mid-wicket and looks for two but the fielder gets to the ball quickly and sends a good throw towards Dhoni who manages to whip the bails off quickly. 167/10

|
13.1 OUT! LBW! It looked unlikely that it would be hitting the stumps, but umpire's call and Watson has to go. Right, so is there a twist in the tale then? Shorter ball around middle and leg, Watson goes back and looks to pull. Misses to get hit on the pads. Narine appeals for LBW and the umpire gives it straightaway. Watson has a chat with his skipper and decides to take the review. But umpire's call and he has to walk back to the dressing room. 101/3

| Faf du Plessis | 17 | 10 | 3 | 0 | 170 |
|
3.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Mavi strikes! It is the prized wicket of Faf du Plessis! Great stuff by the young Mavi. Good length ball outside off, it zips off the surface. Du Plessis looks to punch it on the off side but the ball shapes away a bit and takes the outside edge of du Plessis' willow. The ball goes to the right of Dinesh Karthik. The Kolkata skipper makes no mistake and takes a good catch. 30/1

| Ambati Rayudu | 30 | 27 | 3 | 0 | 111.11 |
|
12.1 OUT! CAUGHT! A much needed wicket for Kolkata here. Chennai were having it all too easy. Short length delivery, Rayudu goes to the leg side and pulls this. He wanted to clear long on but ends up hitting it straight to the man there. Shubman Gill takes an easy catch. A twist in the tale awaits? 99/2

| MS Dhoni C Wk | 11 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 91.66 |

16.3 OUT! BOWLED! Chakravarthy gets his revenge though. MS Dhoni has to walk back. It was floated around off and middle, Dhoni looked to go for the mighty sweep. Wanted to clear the deep square leg fence. He got away with an inside edge earlier, to Narine. This time though, he misses and is cleaned up. The Yellow Army still needs 39 in 21 balls. 129/4

| Sam Curran | 17 | 11 | 1 | 1 | 154.54 |

17.1 OUT! CAUGHT! And Andre Russell strikes straightaway. Chennai, what are they doing to themselves here? Shortish ball outside off, Curran looked to slap that over covers but ends up giving catching practice to Morgan there. Curran's little cameo comes to an end. 129/5
