Hyderabad 16-0 (3 ovs) vs CSK | Scorecard
Pacer Deepak Chahar opens the bowling for CSK at their adopted home ground at the Maharashtra Cricket Association stadium in Pune.
Shikhar Dhawan gets off the mark from the first ball with a single on the leg side before Alex Hales watchfully defends the rest of the over as just a single comes from the first over.
Pace from both ends as Shardul Thakur bowls from the other end. Dhawan inside edges the first ball which goes past the leg stumps for a boundary.
Two balls later Dhawan looks to flick it across the line but misses and is hit on the pads. The LBW appeal is turned down with the umpire believing there was an inside edge but closer looks at the replay shows that CSK were wrong not to take the DRS. The ball had only hit the pads and would have gone on to hit the stumps and Dhawan must consider himself lucky that Dhoni opt to take the review.
A quick single off the fifth ball as just five come from the second over.
Left-arm pacer David Willey is called into the attack as Chahar gets one over with the new ball.
A couple of singles before Dhawan heaves the pacer over midwicket for a four and smashes the next through the covers for the same result.
