Will Jacks to Sam Curran
OUT! CASTLED! Will Jacks strikes now and Chennai Super Kings have now lost half their side! Floated up from around the wicket, full and at the stumps, Sam Curran gets down on a knee and has a heave across the line. He fails to connect and pays the price. The ball scoots under the bat and uproots the off stump. MI continue to chip away at the wickets. Sam Curran goes for 4 (9). CSK are now 116/5, needing 40 runs in 35 balls.

Will Jacks to Ravindra Jadeja
A stifled appeal for LBW but turned down! Was it going down leg? Suryakumar Yadav has a chat with the bowler and the keeper and takes the review. Slanting into the pads from around the wicket, on a nagging length, Jadeja looks to play it away on the leg side with a closed bat face but misses. The ball sneaks past the inside edge to hit him on the front pad. Nothing on UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows that the ball is missing the leg stump. MI lose a review.

Trent Boult to Ravindra Jadeja
FOUR! A boundary after a long, long time for CSK and this will certainly ease some of the pressure! Back of a length, just outside off, Ravindra Jadeja uses the width offered and cuts it late to deep backward point for a boundary. 26 runs needed off 22 balls now.

Trent Boult to Ravindra Jadeja
Hard length, around off, Jadeja leans back and cuts it to deep backward point for a single. Jadeja is looking for the second and is halfway through, but Rachin sends him back and Jadeja is still stranded halfway on the pitch. However, a wayward throw to the keeper, but with a good backup in the leg side, compels Jadeja to retreat back.

Vignesh Puthur to Rachin Ravindra
SIX! FIFTY FOR RACHIN RAVINDRA! An inning of composure from the Kiwi southpaw! Had to work hard for it, but held his ground! The crowd applauds him. Vignesh drops full on the stumps, Rachin Ravindra charges down the track and picks it up and parks it into the stands behind deep mid-wicket for a six. Less than run-a-ball needed now for CSK!

SIX! Into the single digits now for CSK! This is a massive hit! Vignesh drops right into the wheelhouse, on the stumps, Rachin Ravindra sits down on his knee, picks it up nicely and slogs it behind deep mid-wicket for a six. CSK just a hit away now. Need 6 off 12.

Naman Dhir to Ravindra Jadeja
OUT! RUN OUT! A needless mix-up in the middle and Jadeja departs. Back of a length, on the pads, Jadeja tucks across off the back foot to the square leg region and looks for a single. Is through for one, but Rachin Ravindra at the other end, turns back to deny the single. However, Jadeja puts the skates on and rushes to the other end, ball-watching. Soon realises as the fielder, Deepak Chahar, throws to the keeper and Rickelton whips the bails off. The umpires request Jadeja to stay as they want to check whether he crossed Rachin in the process to get to the other end. But, after a few checks it is deemed that Jadeja is out.

Mitchell Santner to Rachin Ravindra
SIX! RACHIN RAVINDRA FINISHES OFF IN STYLE! Chennai Super Kings win their season opener by 4 wickets! Santner drops it on a good length, pitching around off and turning into middle, Rachin Ravindra judges the length quickly, rocks back in the crease and pulls it aerially over deep mid-wicket for a cracking six.
