Things got worse for CSK when they were reduced to 2 for 2 in the space of two overs. Rachin Ravindra, brought back into the side to bolster the top order, was run out for 1. The next ball saw Sandeep Warrier get the better of Ajinkya Rahane in the battle of the openers. Rahane fell for one off five balls.
Captain Gaikwad, who had slipped down to number 3, then picked out one of the only two men on the boundary off Umesh Yadav for a duck. The early strikes prevented CSK from taking any further risks and they were restricted to 43 for 3 in the powerplay.
