CSK field first:
When KL Rahul won the toss and opted to bat first, CSK were forced to field first. While CSK was struggling to keep its pace with the batting force of KXIP, KXIP faced a fall-out in the middle between Jadeja and Jadhav.
KXIP batting first, Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul had given an outstanding start, faced the difficult bowling of Sam Curran and Deepak Chahar. After 8 overs, they were in a good position, scored 61 for no loss.
Specifically, Stephen Fleming was disturbed at his fielders’ efforts. Immediately Chawla struck for CSK, eliminated the dangerous Agarwal in the 1st delivery. Since that, Mandeep Singh was able to build a good partnership with Rahul before Mandeep was dismissed. However, Nicholas Pooran was striking the ball in every way possible, and the frustration of the fielders was clearly visible.
On the other hand, Rahul had also stolen for fours from the bowlers, made more difficult for the fielders of CSK. In the over 16, with the bowling of Sam Curran, Pooran knocked a slower delivery directly into the deep, finding the poor delivery of Kedar Jadhav, who didn’t even try to get the ball. In this meantime, the two batsmen of KXIP ran a double. Before the next ball, Ravindra Jadeja had shown the frustration on Kedar Jadhav, which was caught by the camera.
