CHENNAI SUPER KINGS inning:

1-6 Power Play Overs: While Chasing a big score like 175 runs Chennai Super kings started poorly and made only 34 runs in first 6 overs with the loss of big wickets of Shane Watson and Murli Vijay.

7-15 middle Overs: This was the phase when CSK completely messed up the things and slipped away from the run chase. In the Overs of 6-10 when CSK needed to attack the bowlers and score some quick runs, they went too defensively and pressure got building on them. In the 10th over Kedar Jadhav came to bat after the run out of Ruturaj Gaikwad. After the 10 overs, CSK scored only 47 runs and lost 3 wickets. CSK required 13 runs per overs after the 10 overs. Faf and Jadhav played some shots after that but did not score runs at a rate which they required. At the end of 15 overs, they only managed to get 95 runs and after that recovery was not possible and Delhi Capitals was completely dominating the game with Rabada having 2 overs in the bank to bowl in the last 5 overs.

16-20 Death Overs: The miraculous inning was needed for CSK to win as they required 81 runs in just 30 balls with two overs of Kagiso Rabada to face. In the16 the over Kedar Jadhav got out on the bowling of Anrich Nortje and dhoni came to bat. But after that only formalities remained as the required run rate was unreachable.

Key points of the match 

Opening Partnership of 94 runs which set the platform for the Delhi Capitals.

CSK batsmen's defensive approach in the first 7-8 overs which just didn't allow them to come back in the game. Sending Ruturaj Gaikwad before the Kedar Jadhav and Ms dhoni when required run rate was over 10 overs per over was not a good move by CSK.

Shreyas Iyer's brilliant captaincy move of giving Overs to Axar Patel when Shane Watson was at the crease as Axar had already gotten him out 5 times in 7 innings. And also to complete the spinners overs before the 13 overs.
