Despite Ambati Rayudu's brave 39-ball 78, Punjab Kings overtook Chennai Super Kings in 11 runs, scoring important points, losing many times at Wankhede Stadium and then on the road to victory. For PBKS, Shikhar Dhawan was the mainstay and finished with an undefeated 59-ball 88.
Rayudu ,Veteran batter not only scared PBKS, but certainly did a great batter show. Heading to the middle to join Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK had an early trouble on 40/3 and Robin Uthappa, Shivam Dube and Mitchell Santner returned to the hut. He knocked Rahul Chahar from the ceiling, followed by a few loose deliveries from Rishi Dhawan, collecting 4 and 6. Rayudu also chased Liam Livingstone's right-arm leg spin, sliced him at the back point, and then slog-swept Lancashire's all-rounder with a deep mid-wicket. After losing his batting partner Guy Quad in the 13th inning, Rayudu decided to turbocharge the CSK engine and reached 50 with a 6 off Rahul Chahar over deep backsquare leg. When he defeated Sandeep Sharma with Three Six and a Boundary, he touched another zone right next to him. Long on, Deep Backward Square and Deep Backward Point were his target areas. Sandeep did not help his cause by bowling full tosses. CSK suddenly hunted because 47 needed 4 overs. In the end, Rayudu tried too many shots to catch up with the required rate and was put into the castle by Kagiso Rabada's yoker. Rishi Dhawan added the final touch to PBKS's victory by sending out MS Dhoni in the final over, but basically Arshdeep emerged as the basis for the attack. Not only did he widen the wickets and creases, but when he rushed from behind the referee, the batter felt struggling to hit him. In short, the batter suddenly saw the bowler's actions after seeing the referee for a moment. Having let go of just 5 and 8 with 17 overs and 19 overs, he was the shadow hero of PBKS's efforts. In the end, CSK was able to collect 176. Shikar Dawan lays the platform for victory. After Mayank Agarawal was dismissed within 6 overs, the opener put together a 110-run streak with Bhaunka Rajapaksa. One of the highlights of Dhawan's innings was how to move from a stumpless keeper to Dwayne Bravo to a stumpkeeper to Mukesh Chowdary. This clever move helped push Bravo's limits by going offside at 16 overs. Choudhary was also a bowler who was under great pressure when the southpaw broke the three-force on the 12th while confronting the bowler with his left arm. Inform Livingstone also played his role in # 4 with an airy 7-ball 19.
