Dhoni, Rayudu steady CSK

April 21, 2019 22:54

CSK 57-4 (10 ovs) vs RCB 161-7 | Scorecard

Medium pacer Stoinis is introduced into the attack. Rayudu and Dhoni pick a single each off the first two balls before the former gets a lifeline.

Dhoni was hit on the pads as the ball rolled on the off-side and he called Rayudu for a quick leg bye. Meanwhile, Kohli was quick to get to the ball but he missed with the direct hit with Rayudu way out of his crease.

An opportunity missed by RCB as they could have taken further control of the contest.

Stoinis drops short as Dhoni pulls it square on the leg side for a four to take CSK past the 50-run mark, in the ninth over.

RCB's strike bowler Yuzvendra Chahal comes into the attack. He concedes four singles in his first over as CSK struggle to 57 for four in 10 overs at the halfway stage. They need another 105 runs from the remaining 10 overs for victory.

The onus will now be on Dhoni, who has made 15 from 14 balls, while Rayudu has made 14 from 18 balls.
