A bit short again and outside off, Ravindra Jadeja presses back and looks to cut it to the off side. The ball skids through the surface, and it seems that it has missed the bat on its way to the keeper, Inglis, who collects it to his left. There is a loud appeal for caught behind by the keeper, but the umpire shakes his head! Josh Inglis asks Shreyas Iyer to go for the review here, and he obliges.

Very similar to the ball Arshdeep Singh bowled to get rid of Shaik Rasheed. Angling across, full and around off, Ayush Mhatre thumps it off the lower half of the bat and to the left of mid off. Shreyas Iyer takes a few steps across and grabs onto a fine catch low to his left.

Unlike the other teams, Chennai Super Kings still believes in watching the ball for a couple of overs to assess the conditions and then going on the attack. However, they also need to be a bit more proactive as well.

Arshdeep Singh to Shaik Rasheed, Was that a dropped chance? Full and on middle, Shaik Rasheed charges down the track and whips it straight back to the bowler who makes half a stop. Not quite sure if it was on the bounce but a good start from Arshdeep Singh! Just 3 off his first over.

MS Dhoni, the captain of Chennai Super Kings, cheekily says that he does not know if he will come back next year, but is certain of coming back for the next game. Adds that winning at home is a pride factor and very important in a tournament like this, but they have not done that this season. Informs that they are going with the same team. Mentions that they are a team where they do not like to chop and change too much, but this year they have been forced to make a lot of changes due to different factors. Says that this is the first season after the mega auction, and they have a few things on their mind. Ends by saying that when a batter is not doing well, you need to see which position will be beneficial for him.
