0.1 to PD Salt, straight to point first ball! And Jadeja is not missing that. Perfect start for CSK. Deshpande with a wide ball outside off and he tried to drive, but plays it away from his body. The length wasn't right for the drive either, and CSK strike first ball.. 0/1 16.4 to RK Singh, stumps rattled! The slower ball works. Fullish ball, fifth-stump line, Rinku tries to muscle a shot over the off side but he's through the shot too early, and the ball finds the inside edge before coming back onto the poles. 112/6 18.2 to AD Russell, Deshpande adds a third! Fullish ball outside off, but with pace off. Russell tries to tonk it over long on, but it is mistimed. Mitchell at long on gets around and then takes the catch. Deshpande enjoyed that wicket, completes the celebration with a rodeo-style lasso loop. 127/7 See all photos
Mustafizur Rahman	4	0	22	2	5.50	16	3	0	2	1
19.1 to SS Iyer, A 100th catch for Jadeja in the IPL! Cutter, off a good length and angling away. Shreyas tries to clobber a six over the leg side, but the connection is poor. Jadeja is at deep midwicket, so Shreyas can begin starting to walk back even before the catch is completed.. 135/8 19.4 to MA Starc, the Fizz adds a second. Starc moves to the off side before Mustafizur delivers the ball. Picks this length ball well as he tries to pull a six, but despite his positive move, all he can do is find deep square leg. Purple cap now for Mustafizur. 135/9 See all photos
Shardul Thakur	3	0	27	0	9.00	3	3	0	1	1
Maheesh Theekshana	4	0	28	1	7.00	13	0	3	0	0
11.5 to Ramandeep Singh, Theekshana with a terrific response! Good length ball around off and the carrom ball zips through. Ramandeep makes some room to play a cut, but he's been deceived, and his middle stump has been rocked back. Ramandeep stands in disbelief before dragging himself out. 85/5 See all photos
Ravindra Jadeja	4	0	18	3	4.50	11	1	0	1	0
6.1 to A Raghuvanshi, out playing the reverse sweep! First wicket for a CSK spinner at Chepauk! Length ball on middle stump and going straight on. Raghuvanshi changes his stance to attempt a reverse sweep, but the wily Jadeja outsmarts the young Raghuvanshi. Hits his pads in front of middle stump, and KKR will not review this. Raghuvanshi was probably expecting a fuller ball there.. 56/2 6.5 to SP Narine, Jadeja strikes again! Gets a length ball to drift and land outside off. Keeps it away from Narine's arc but doesn't stop the batter from attempting a shot anyway. Slices a flat-batted effort over the off side but long off gets in position early for a reverse-cup catch. 60/3 8.2 to VR Iyer, over the stumps to Venkatesh Iyer, and he has struck right away! A pure half-tracker angling into Iyer and he tries to pull. But Venkatesh has totally mistimed this freebie delivery, and he holes out at deep midwicket diving in the deep! Three wickets for Jadeja in eight deliveries!. 64/4 See all photos

3.2 to R Ravindra, he has picked out long-on! Wonder if Rachin forgot the field had been pushed back. This was short of length and outside off, he swung through the line but instinctively let out a groan as he saw the fielder near the ropes.. 27/1 16.5 to S Dube, looks to finish it off in style but misses this full and straight delivery and sees the stumps flattened. May have been better off trying to hit it straight rather than attempting a heave. As Dube was out, there's a roar that engulfs Chepauk. And that's because MS Dhoni is walking out to bat . 135/3 See all photos

12.3 to DJ Mitchell, got him! Right through the gate. Mitchell advances to hit down the ground but the ball dips and spins in to beat the inside edge. Was in no position to play that shot.. 97/2
