The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side won by 23 runs against the Delhi Capitals as the former side bundled DC for 189 in 20 overs. For Chennai, Sanju Samson was the star performer with the willow, scoring an unbeaten 115. Meanwhile, with the ball, Jamie Overton bagged four wickets and Anshul Kamboj scalped three. The matchup also contained various moments, like KL Rahul fumbling a run-out chance to dismiss Ayush Mhatre, Nissanka dropping Sanju Samson and the fourth umpire denying new gloves to Tristan Stubbs. KL Rahul fumbles Ayush Mhatre’s run-out chance KL Rahul fumbled the run-out chance of Aysh Mhatre on the first ball of the 10th over. Ayush Mhatre had driven Axar Patel’s delivery toward mid-off, and he set off for a single. However, there was never a run on offer as he had to turn back. The throw came at the keeper’s end, but Rahul made a mess of it and failed to collect it cleanly. Had he taken it cleanly, Mhatre could’ve got dismissed for 9. However, he went on to slam a 27-ball fifty. Pathum Nissanka drops Sanju Samson on 52 In the same 10th over, on the third ball, Pathum Nissanka dropped Sanju Samson on the score of 52. While trying to go big against Axar, Samson lofted towards long-off. Nissanka came charging in to take it but failed to grab it, resulting in a boundary for the CSK opener. Notably, Samson stayed unbeaten at the score of 115 by the end of the 1st innings. Sarfaraz Khan’s aerial catch to remove Axar Patel Gurjapneet Singh got the first ball wicket for CSK in IPL, that too of DC skipper Axar Patel. It was an aerial catch that Sarafaraz Khan took at backward point as he ran to his right and had a cap in his left hand. Axar Patel played a hard cut on a short outside off delivery, but it was Sarfaraz Khan who made this a dismissal. Fourth umpire’s decision cost Delhi Capitals the match against CSK? On the third ball of the 19th over, Tristan Stubbs got caught out by Noor Ahmad on an outside off delivery by Jamie Overton. When the review was played, it turned out that Stubbs’ bat got twisted in his hand, possibly due to sweat on the ball he got out. Before that, during over-break, Stubbs was denied a glove exchange by the fourth umpire as Nitish Rana and Karun Nair were spotted having a chat with the fourth umpire. While walking back, Stubbs had an animated chat with the umpire, then he dropped the helmet on the stairs and was spotted throwing his helmet in the dressing room as soon as he entered. Tristan Stubbs was in red-hot form at that point, keeping DC’s hopes alive, but his dismissal acted as the final nail in the coffin for DC. So, his dismissal technically cost DC the game against CSK. Mhatre retired out On the third ball of the 17th over, Ayush Mhatre retired out after scoring 59 runs. This was a tactical decision, where the team sent in a new batsman for quick runs. After this, Shivam Dube came in to bat.
