Twenty20 match | 2022 season
Played at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
26 March 2022 - night match (20-over match)


Chennai Super Kings innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
RD Gaikwad	c Rana b Yadav	0	5	4	0	0	0.00
0.3 edged and taken at slip! Uncharacteristic from Gaikwad as he throws his bat at this short and wide delivery, the edge flies and Nitish Rana pouches an excellent catch with his palms facing upwards. 2/1
DP Conway	c SS Iyer b Yadav	3	25	8	0	0	37.50
4.1 chipped straight to mid-on. Conway's debut isn't a memorable one. Was looking very itchy to go for the big hits. Tried to step out and go over the top but this one lobbed off a thickish inside edge, an absolute dolly to mid-on. Umesh has a second. 28/2
RV Uthappa	st †Jackson b Varun	28	37	21	2	2	133.33
7.6 lightning quick work from Jackson and Uthappa is gone! The kind of stumping MS Dhoni would be proud of. This one spins back in from middle and leg to beat Uthappa's attempted nurdle. He's off balance in the process as Jackson does the rest. Terrific stuff. 49/3
AT Rayudu	run out (SS Iyer/Narine)	15	22	17	1	1	88.23
8.4 Narine to Jadeja, what is happening! Rayudu left high and dry. Chennai are imploding or what? This is bowled full from around the wicket, Jadeja works this wide of Shreyas Iyer at short midwicket, at least he thinks he has and takes a couple of steps down the pitch, by which time Rayudu is halfway down. Unfortunately for him, Jadeja stops so he has nowhere to go except to the pavilion. 52/4
RA Jadeja*	not out	26	63	28	0	1	92.85

S Dube	c Narine b Russell	3	11	6	0	0	50.00
10.5 they didn't get him off the run out but have him caught next ball. Russell bowls a heavy ball, Dube is set with a premeditated pull but gets it high off the bat and Narine takes a dolly at midwicket. 61/5
MS Dhoni†	not out	50	47	38	7	1	131.57

AM Rahane	c Jadeja b Santner	44	56	34	6	1	129.41
11.4 Santner strikes to get Rahane. Darted on a back of a length and angling into Rahane. He flicks it straight to Jadeja at midwicket. Soft dismissal 87/3
VR Iyer	c †Dhoni b Bravo	16	31	16	2	0	100.00
6.2 edged and taken. DJ Bravo breaks into a celebratory jig.. New moves from Bravo. Much fuller but Bravo hides it away from Venkatesh's swinging arc. Venkatesh slashes and can only nick it off to Dhoni 43/1
N Rana	c Rayudu b Bravo	21	19	17	2	1	123.52
9.6 DJ Bravo brings out his new jig once again. Rana flaps it to Rayudu at short fine leg. Dug in short, chest-high short ball, slower variation, cramps Rana on the pull. He gets inside the line but can't control it and finds Rayudu 76/2
SS Iyer*	not out	20	36	19	1	0	105.26

SW Billings	c Deshpande b Bravo	25	25	22	1	1	113.63
