At No 4, Jadeja departs

CSK has been known to pull rabbits out of their hat from time to time, the latest being Jadeja at No. 4.

Soon after, they lost Rachin Ravindra for a golden duck and three overs later, Ruturaj Gaikwad was edged behind by a Yash Thakur outswinger.

The loss of two wickets in the powerplay perhaps prompted CSK to save Shivam Dube for later and send out Jadeja, who played a key role in helping CSK to a competitive total.

Ajinkya Rahane, meanwhile, kept CSK ticking over with a regular flow of boundaries, his crisp timing on full display. The highlights were a six over midwicket off Matt Henry and an exquisite drive off Thakur for four.
