It all started with the regulation catch of Jason Roy as he tried to make room to cut it through the off side and edged a tame catch. The second one was a little more tricky, as Priyam Garg, trying to pull Dwayne Bravo over Square leg edged it sky-high. M.S Dhoni had to run a considerable distance to catch it. He took the third catch on Jadejaā€™s bowling as the finger spinner dismissed an in-form W. Saha, just when he was starting to look threatening. The CSK bowlers put up a great show to contain the SRH batters. With Josh Hazlewood being the pick of the bowlers, as he picked up 3 wickets in his 4 overs, and only conceded 24 runs.
