Here are the Highlights of IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings:
IPL 2024 Live: Shardul unhappy with fielding effort
Daryl Mitchell dropped a tough chance in the 14th over and Shardul Thakur was visibly frustrated. A total of 13 runs came off the over and Punjab Kings need 28 runs in 36 balls from this point.
9 runs came off the second over of Ravindra Jadeja. He has remained on the expensive side tonight by conceding 19 runs in his first two overs without taking any wicket. Punjab Kings need 81 runs in 66 balls. Chennai Super Kings badly need wickets to stay alive in this game.
13 runs came off Shardul Thakur's second over. Punjab Kings have scored 52 runs in the powerplay and lost only one wicket. This is a really good start for them as the asking rate is below 8 for them from this point. Punjab Kings need 111 runs in 84 balls.
It was a review from CSK for an LBW against Prabhsimran Singh. The batter walked across the stumps and got a thick edge of the bat. CSK failed to notice it and went upstairs only to lose a review.
CSK vs PBKS Live: Deepak Chahar walks out of ground
Deepak Chahar stopped during runup while he was going to delivery the third ball of the over. He felt some trouble and therefore left the ground in the follow-up. Shardul Thakur completed the over for Deepak. 12 runs came off the over.
Prabhsimran Singh comes in as Impact Player for Arshdeep Singh. He has opened the innings for PBKS with Jonny Bairstow. Deepak Chahar has the new ball in hand. Here we go...
Rahul Chahar has cleaned up Moeen Ali and Punjab Kings are once again dominating this contest. CSK are six down and comes in next Daryl Mitchell to bat.
Ruturaj Gaikwad was cleaned up on the fifth ball of Arshdeep Singh's over and walked in MS Dhoni to bat next. Dhoni got off the mark with a single to retain the strike. Rahul Chahar is set to bowl the 19th over. Is it a masterstroke from PBKS? Let's see.
Ruturaj Gaikwad raced to his half-century in 44 balls. He got there with a six on the second legal delivery of the over, which was a free-hit as Sam Curran had bowled a beamer on the preceding
Ravindra Jadeja is gone and CSK have lost their second review as well. Umpire had raised his finger over an LBW appeal against Jadeja but the latter, after a discussion with captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, decided to go upstairs only to burn the last remaining review.
This was coming. This was right around the corner as CSK scored only 9 runs off the last two overs off spin bowling. Brar knew this and he smartly kept the ball away from Rahane's reach. An urgency to play a big shot saw Rahane mistiming the ball into the hands of deep mid-wicket. Rahane departs for 29 off 24 balls.
Kagiso Raba with the new ball in hand. Ajinkya Rahane will face him. Here we go... Rabada got some great bounce on the delivery that left Rahane amazed, certainly others too. It is a dot ball. Ruturaj Gaiwad is at the other end.
