CSK 51-2 (6 Ovs) vs LSG | Scorecard

There's a change in the bowling attack as Yash Thakur steps up to the mark. Gaikwad greets him with a confident shot, guiding the ball skillfully for four runs.

However, Thakur strikes back emphatically! Gaikwad attempts a risky drive away from his body, only to nick the ball behind. KL Rahul makes no mistake, diving to his right to complete a fine catch.

Gaikwad's innings comes to an end, departing for a brisk 17 off 13 balls.

Ravindra Jadeja strides in at No 4 amidst an intense atmosphere. He faces the first delivery but is beaten by a good delivery from Yash Thakur.

However, he quickly recovers, steering the ball towards third man for a single to get off the mark.

Meanwhile, Rahane takes charge, unleashing a powerful stroke that races to the boundary for four runs. Showing his class, Rahane follows it up with another boundary, notching back-to-back fours off consecutive deliveries!

The over proves to be fruitful for CSK, accumulating 13 runs despite losing a wicket. After five overs, they stand at 42-2.

Henry continues as the powerplay draws to a close. Jadeja showcases his aggressive intent, backing away and lofting a well-placed shot over the infield for a boundary, adding valuable runs to the scoreboard. He then calmly takes a single to rotate the strike.

On the other end, Rahane keeps the momentum going with a quick flick to mid-on, allowing him to scamper through for a single. Two more singles follow to wrap up the powerplay phase.

The over yields a total of 9 runs, concluding the powerplay with CSK at 51-2 after six overs.
