CSK 72-3 (8 ovs) vs Gujarat | Scorecard

Hardik comes back into the attack. Stokes taps the second ball to point for a single before Gaikwad smashes the next, inside out over the covers for a six. The umpires check whether the ball has touched the SpiderCam cables but eventually they rule it a six.

The next ball is again full and wide as Gaikwad smashes it over long-off for back to back sixes, to race to 36 from 15 balls.

Gaikwad gets a lifeline next ball. He taps the last ball to the covers and sets for a quick single but Stokes is unmoved. Gaikwad has to turn back halfway down and is struggling to make his crease but Shubman Gill, despite having plenty of time in hand, misses the direct hit.

Gaikwad had given up and was happy to see Gill miss the stumps as CSK enjoy a huge slice of luck.

Stokes hammers the third ball straight down the ground for a four to long-off before Rashid strikes another big blow in his second over.

Stokes gets a thick outside edge and wicketkeeper Saha takes another superb catch.

Stokes walks back for seven as CSK are reduced to 70/3 in the eighth over.

Ambati Rayudu gets off the mark with a single on the leg side and Gaikwad keeps strike with one from the last ball.
