Behind him is <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Sunil Narine<\/span><\/span> with 26 wickets.

The innings was built around strong hitting in the middle and death overs, with the run rate finishing at 10.45.<\/p>\n<p>The early loss of Sanju Samson for 7 did not slow CSK for long. Ayush Mhatre led the charge with a fluent knock, while Ruturaj Gaikwad added support at the other end before his dismissal.<\/p>\n<p>The middle order then pushed the scoring further. A late surge saw CSK add 64 runs in the final five overs, with Shivam Dube finishing unbeaten on 45 off 28 balls, hitting key boundaries at the end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Veer gets brief outing as bowlers struggle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prashant Veer had a quiet outing, scoring 6 off 6 balls before the innings closed. He showed glimpses of intent but did not get a long opportunity at the crease.<\/p>\n<p>Punjab\u2019s bowlers worked in spells. Arshdeep Singh went for 41 runs in his four overs, while Marco Jansen picked up a wicket but conceded 43. Vijaykumar Vyshak and Xavier Bartlett also kept things tight at times but could not stop CSK from crossing 200.<\/p>\n<p>CSK will now rely on their bowling unit to defend a strong total on a pitch that has already shown good pace and bounce for batting.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"792\" data-end=\"980\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yuzvendra Chahal is level with Harbhajan for the most wickets against CSK There is a tie at 24 wickets between\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":473,"featured_media":47027,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/473"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47026"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47026\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47029,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47026\/revisions\/47029"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
