0

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Ambati Rayudu (71 off 48 balls) blazed his way and Faf du Plessis (55 not out off 44 balls) more than made up for Suresh Raina’s absence at No. 3 with, helping CSK chase down a tricky 163-run target in 19.2 overs overs and with five wickets to spare.
  • Curran proved his all-rounder’s credentials again. And Faf du Plessis showed he could be trusted with taking the team over the line. CSK began IPL 13 with a five-wicket win.
  • Defending champions Mumbai Indians thus lost another Indian Premier League opener despite the rampaging start with Rohit Sharma creaming cover drives and Quinton de Kock moving around the stumps to throw the bowlers off gear.

CONCLUSION
  • The momentum was short-lived. With Mumbai Indians cantering at 45 for no loss after four overs, Dhoni quickly resorted to bowling his spinners.
  • Sharma chipped Chawla to mid-off and de Kock couldn’t blast the crafty Curran past Shane Watson at midwicket. And slowly everything started to fall in toplace
  • It wasn’t seamless transition though. Ravindra Jadeja erred in length twice and Hardik Pandya slogged two sixes over midwicket.
  • The fielding was sloppy on most occasions and quite a few wides were conceded trying to avoid de Kock’s range.
