Trent Boult got the first breakthrough as he trapped Ruturaj Gaikwad on the fifth ball of the first over for a duck. Jasprit Bumrah came to bowl the second over and got rid of the in-form Ambati Rayudu and N Jagadeesan on successive deliveries to leave Chennai reeling at 3/3. Rayudu (2) was caught behind by Quinton de Kock while Jagdeesan (0) was dismissed courtesy of a good catch by Suryakumar Yadav at wide first slip.

Meanwhile, after being reduced to 43/7, Chennai were finally able to form a partnership of sorts with Sam Curran and Shardul Thakur at the crease. At the time of publishing this article, Chennai reached 67/7 at the end of 14 overs with Curran and Thakur playing carefully. The two will need to up the ante and stay till the end to guide Chennai to a respectable total. However, it won't be an easy task for the Men in Yellow with Jasprit Bumrah bowling at the death.
