- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.3 Top edge balloons, Miller settles and takes it at long-on! MIller points to the spidercam right after. Back of length around off, doesn't bounce as well. Gaikwad shaped to pull it but had to crouch and get low. Ball popped up, Miller ran in and took it in front of the breadbasket. Gaikwad ends with 60 after getting a reprieve on 2, thanks to Nalkande's no-ball 87/115.1 Conway's struggle ends with a catch to midwicket. Slot ball, closer to length than half-volley, but very much hittable from fourth stump. Conway tried to whip it across the line, it ballooned and parachuted into Rashid's hands. 125/411.3 Dube's leg stump is knocked over! Noor sends across the goog on a fullish length, lands around off and spins in. Dube tries to launch it over wide long-on and misses it completely. Two wickets in successive overs. 90/214.5 Another soft dismissal off Nalkande's bowling, no no-ball this time. No celebrations from the bowler this time. It was a length outside off that Rahane tried to steer off the back foot with an open-faced bat. Ended up spooning it to backward point 121/317.6 Mistimes the slog sweep, the full ball goes off the top edge. Shanaka runs in from the deep to take the catch. Googly there from Rashid 148/519.6 Slower one beats the heave, stumps are rattled! It was a slot ball but the cutter snuck in. Jadeja cleared his front leg out the way and went for an almighty heave across the line. Tried to go square, missed it completely. 172/718.5 Slower one is ballooned to cover and the volume goes from 100 to 0 as Hardik nonchalantly takes it around head-height and throws it towards the bowler. It was wide around a length and MS reached out and tried to slap it aerially 155/6Extras5 (b 1, lb 2, nb 2)TOTAL172/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Fall of wickets: 1-87 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 10.3 ov), 2-90 (Shivam Dube, 11.3 ov), 3-121 (Ajinkya Rahane, 14.5 ov), 4-125 (Devon Conway, 15.1 ov), 5-148 (Ambati Rayudu, 17.6 ov), 6-155 (MS Dhoni, 18.5 ov), 7-172 (Ravindra Jadeja, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.6 Chahar-Pathirana combine! And the crowd loves this. Chahar goes good-length on a stump-to-stump line. Saha swivels for a pull but this time he rolls his wrists over the shot at the last moment. That means the ball is flying behind square instead of going in front. And Pathirana at deep square leg does not have to move an inch. 22/113.1 Chahar has got his man! This was a short ball at only 111kph. Gill got set for the pull but he's a bit too early into the shot. Ball in the air and Conway at deep square leg runs around to grab that catch. The crowd erupts, Chahar looks up to the skies. 88/55.5 and that protection pays off! Forced Hardik to go over the infield because it was so packed. Theekshana with a length ball on a fourth-stump line. Hardik miscues the cut. Jadeja at point jumps up and holds on. Theekshana with a passionate celebration. 41/210.3 reverse sweep doesn't work! Two dots and then the wicket. Shanaka tries to lift the reverse sweep from middle stump, but he doesn't time it well. He got tangled slightly too, and Theekshana runs to his right from conventional short-third to take an easy catch. In the end, the Shanaka experiment doesn't really work out 72/312.5 Jaddu-gar He is a magician. Earns his reward for bowling stump-to-stump. Ball skids straight through with Miller kinda late on the punch with minimal footwork. Ball squirts through the bat-body gap after taking an edge, and then turns around to see his stumps rattled. 88/417.3 Gaik-waddafielder! Full ball around leg stump. Shankar flicked it high in the air off his toes. Gaikwad runs in quickly from deep midwicket and then puts his body on the line with a dive forward. Clean catch, Shankar is outta here! 136/714.3 let's start the whistle-podu! Theekshana with a second and brings out his trademark celebration. Good length ball around middle and off. Tewatia tries to guide it to the leg side but this 103kph delivery goes past his edge. 98/618.3 MS magic again? Dhoni strengthens the off side before this ball, moving Conway towards deep point, and the ball has gone straight to him. Another low full toss outside off and Rashid sliced the shot straight to him. Nehra gives Rashid a pat on the back as he walks back for a 16-ball 30 142/917.4 run-out for a golden duck! Full ball around off. Drilled to mid off too hard and still he tries the single. Sub fielder Senapati with a clean pick up and throw from mid-off, and Nalkande is a few metres out of the crease. 136/819.6 A tenth IPL final for CSK in 14 seasons of their history. And what a way to seal it, with a catch running square from mid off. Short ball around off, slapped high up in the air, and mid-off was committed for the catch even though the win was decided. One-handed from Chahar and then pulls up, maybe a strain 157/10Extras15 (lb 2, w 13)TOTAL157 all out (20 Overs, RR: 7.85)Did not bat: MM SharmaFall of wickets: 1-22 (Wriddhiman Saha, 2.6 ov), 2-41 (Hardik Pandya, 5.5 ov), 3-72 (Dasun Shanaka, 10.3 ov), 4-88 (David Miller, 12.5 ov), 5-88 (Shubman Gill, 13.1 ov), 6-98 (Rahul Tewatia, 14.3 ov), 7-136 (Vijay Shankar, 17.3 ov), 8-136 (Darshan Nalkande, 17.4 ov), 9-142 (Rashid Khan, 18.3 ov), 10-157 (Mohammed Shami, 19.6 ov)
