Scorecard
CSK looked poised to break 200 at MA Chidambaram Stadium for the first time this season after Sam Curran scored his 88 off 57 deliveries, but Yuzvendra Chahal made sure of that by striking in an incredible 19th over, dismissing Deepak Hooda, Anshul Kamboj, and Noor Ahmad successively with successive deliveries from his legspinner’s bowling spell.
Earlier, openers Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh shared an opening stand of 44 before Shreyas Iyer scored an unbeaten 71 off 78 balls to put PBKS firmly in control of proceedings.
Chahal’s legspin transformed the match in its final over. After bowling a maiden over, Chahal took three wickets within five balls – Arya holed out to long-on, Hooda sliced to backward point, and Kamboj miscued a legbreak legbreak delivery straight back at short midwicket – leaving CSK no chance to run down their target as Shivam Dube hit an inside-edge four off ball one of final over; Iyer was bowled while looking for winning hit that put an end to their playoff hopes; this tournament marks first time they had ever been eliminated before this tournament!
Wickets
CSK vs PK have long been considered two of the premier rivalries in Indian Premier League cricket, renowned for high-strain run chases and unpredictable encounters. Both teams showcase different styles from brute power to subtle strategic thinking that create riveting encounters between them.
Brevis and Prabhsimran’s opening partnership provided the home side with a boost, racing to 107 in just 15 overs. But Chahal’s hat-trick in the 19th over changed everything: after hitting an legal six to start it off, Chahal sent Hooda into long-on ropes, Kamboj’s off stump to backward point, and Noor Ahmad miscuing miscuing to short third.
CSK were struggling at 168/6 in the 20th over with an ambitious target of 186 to reach. Iyer managed an excellent knock of 62 from 50 balls; unfortunately however, his teammates could not keep pace.
Shedge’s second over proved far more fruitful for them; an initial fuller delivery from him was punished with four sixes, followed by two more off the next three balls to give PBKS complete control.
Curran took full advantage of this death-overs platform by hitting four sixes and two fours off his final three overs – creating a remarkable finish to his innings of 84 off 46 balls that gave CSK enough cushion.
However, even their best effort wasn’t enough to prevent an eighth consecutive defeat and they now sit bottom of the table with just seven points.
Furthermore, this result has all but ended any hopes of MS Dhoni’s side making a late run into the playoffs; now winning just 16 of 30 matches in competition and featuring only five matches left before starting this one at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Tuesday against KKR – guaranteed to provide plenty of entertainment! We will bring all the action as it unfolds.
