Rayudu then pulls the short ball through square leg for two runs but is then done in by another short ball, which is quicker and directed at the body. Rayudu attempts the pull shot but gets a top edge and is caught by wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock for two runs.
Bumrah strikes again with the next delivery as N Jagadeesan looks to drive a wide full delivery but gets a thick outside edge and is caught in the slips for a duck.
Bumrah greets CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni with another fiery bouncer as the veteran does well to duck under it.
CSK reeling on 3-3 in two overs.

18:34 CSK face battle for survival against Mumbai Indians
Welcome to the coverage of the Indian Premier League match between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, in Sharjah, on Friday.
Their campaign turning from bad to worse, Chennai Super Kings are expected to try out a few of their younger players when they take on defending champions Mumbai Indians.
Though skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni conceded after the loss against Rajasthan Royals that the season might be already over them, CSK can still get to 14 points if they win their remaining four games, giving them an outside chance of making the play-offs.
Things have gone pear-shaped for CSK since their win over MI in the tournament opener on November 19.
The team received a hammering at the hands of Rajasthan Royals and would be without the services of the injured Dwayne Bravo, who is out of the tournament.
The Super Kings batsmen struggled against Rajasthan Royals and it remains to be seen if the untested players in the side get their chance as indicated by Dhoni after the drubbing on Monday.
Dhoni himself has not been at his best along with the others barring Faf du Plessis. The team's persistence with a struggling Kedar Jadhav has come in for a lot of flak and it needs to be seen if he makes way for either N Jagadeesan or Ruturaj Gaikwad.
However, they would be up against a formidable MI side which won five games in a row before Kings XI Punjab halted the juggernaut, turning the tables in a double Super Over on Sunday night.
The four-time IPL champions have been in ominous form and the varied bowling attack could prove a challenge for the CSK batters, who are low on confidence.
