The introduction of spin sees Krunal Pandya taking the ball for LSG.

Ravindra Jadeja plays cautiously, nudging the ball towards midwicket but fails to find a gap, resulting in no runs. He then manages to tuck the ball to deep square leg for a single.

The batters continue to rotate the strike efficiently, exchanging singles to keep the scoreboard ticking. Six runs are added to the total from the over, with LSG reaching 57-2 after seven overs.

Spin from the other end too, Ravi Bishnoi is here, Rahane and Jadeja exchang a single each. Soon Rahane and Jadeja shift gears and slams a boundary each in the over. 11 came of fit after 8 overs CSK are 68-2.

Krunal Pandya continues and strikes for LSG as he dismisses Rahane with a well-executed delivery. Rahane attempts to play across the line but fails to connect, resulting in the ball beating the inside edge and crashing into the leg-stump.

Rahane departs after a promising innings, scoring 36 runs off 24 deliveries.

Following the strategic timeout, Shivam Dube takes the crease as the new batter for CSK. He faces the first delivery but fails to make solid contact, pushing the ball towards midwicket for no runs. Determined to settle in, Dube defends the next delivery.

However, he manages to get off the mark on the third ball, albeit with a mistimed pull shot that lands safely at deep square leg, allowing him to take a single. Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja takes charge, slamming a boundary to boost the scoring.

Jadeja then adds a single to his tally, ensuring he keeps the strike. There's a moment of indecision as they contemplate a second run, but wisely decide against it, avoiding the risk of a run-out.

The over concludes with a total of 6 runs and the loss of a wicket, with CSK at 74-3 after nine overs.
