10:52 PM: MS Dhoni is the man at no.6. CSK need 53 in five overs.

10:46 PM: Ten off Hrithik's over and he ends with wonderful figures of 0/23 in four overs. What a spell! 

10:44 PM: FOUR. Rayudu jumped down, Hrithik bowled it down leg, Rayudu just glanced it and it escapes Riley at short fine.

10:38 PM: WICKET! Sams again and what a catch that is by Ishan! Cramped Dube for room did Sams, he tried to cut and Ishan flies to take the edge. Sams is pumped!

10:13 PM: SIX. Goes full and Uthappa hits it dead straight into the sightscreen.

10:12 PM: NOT OUT. Oh what a catch that would have been from Hrithik! Uthappa hit it straight down, Hrithik got down low and grabbed it but third umpire deemed that it had touched the ground as Hrithik did not have his fingers underneath the ball.

10:09 PM: Hrithik Shokeen in the attack on debut!

10:07 PM: Just two runs in the seventh over from Riley.

10:06 PM: The Paltan in full voice!

9:45 PM: SIX. Down leg by Sams and new man Ambati Rayudu pulls it just over the fine-leg ropes.

9:43 PM: WICKET! Sams strikes again and this time it's Santner. Went for the pull, got the top-edge and it is safely caught by Unadkat!

9:40 PM: Good start from Boom here as he got Santner to edge one to deep third for a single before beating Uthappa with swing. CSK 15/1 in two overs.

9:36 PM: Boom to share the new ball and Robin Uthappa gets off the mark in his 200th Tata IPL game with a single to deep third.

9:35 PM: FOUR. Short and Santner pulls it over mid-wicket. A good start for us nonetheless as CSK are 9/1.

9:34 PM: FOUR. First boundary for CSK as Santner drives on the up past cover.

9:33 PM: What a beauty! Sams is on fire, finds some movement off the pitch and it breezes past Santner's edge!

9:32 PM: Bit of a surprise here as in walks Mitchell Santner at no.3. Sams bowls a wide down leg.

9:30 PM: WICKET! Oh what a start by Daniel Sams! Bowls it wide, Ruturaj Gaikwad cuts and finds Tilak at gully. Just the start we wanted!

9:20 PM: Let's defend this!



9:15 PM: Two runs to end and we score 155/7 courtesy a great fifty from Tilak Varma!

9:14 PM: SIX! JD gets us over 150! Slower ball, he read it well and hit the pull well enough to get it just over the ropes!

9:12 PM: FOUR! We will take it! JD goes for a big swipe across the line, it takes his edge and goes over Dhoni for a crucial boundary!

9:11 PM: Oh so unfortunate. After a wide first ball, Tilak nails the straight hit in the second but it's so straight that it knocks down the stumps at the other end. They take a single.

9:09 PM: 139/7 in 19 overs. Can we get to 150 in the final over? It will be Bravo to bowl.

9:07 PM: JD still is in there! Skied a full ball, Shivam Dube was under it but dropped it.

9:06 PM: Three runs and that is Tilak's second half-century this season! Excellent innings under pressure!

9:04 PM: SIX! Pretorius on for the 19th and Tilak smashes the full ball way over long-off! 

9:02 PM: FOUR! Down leg from Bravo, Tilak swivels it easily to the fine leg fence!

9:00 PM: Jaydev Unadkat at no.9 and we need a few big hits from JD here!

8:58 PM: WICKET. Sams is gone. Bravo deceived him with a slower ball, Sams missed and it hit him on the back leg.



8:56 PM: We are 119/6 in 17 overs. Need a big final three overs!

8:53 PM: FOUR! Daniel Sams comes out at no.8 and laps his first ball for a boundary to fine leg!

8:51 PM: WICKET. Polly goes for a big hit straight down the ground but CSK had kept a very straight long-off, where Shivam Dube completes the catch.

8:50 PM: Theekshana to bowl out here. Tilak takes a single.

8:49 PM: Ten runs off the over and we are 110/6 in 16 overs.

8:48 PM: FOUR! Tilak now sits back, bends the knee and lifts it over the in-field for a well-timed boundary!

8:43 PM: 11 runs off the over and our 100 comes up. Five overs to go, can Polly and Tilak take us to a big score?

8:42 PM: SIX! Polly into the act! Reaches out to a full ball, uses the long levers and tonks it over long-on!

8:41 PM: Theekshana on for his third over and Polly and Tilak take three singles in the first three balls.

8:39 PM: Hahah, a lovely moment there! Polly defends Bravo's final ball, was out of his crease so Bravo tried to throw down the stumps. Missed it and Polly envelops Bravo in a hug! What camaraderie!

8:37 PM: FOUR! Big man Polly walks in, jumps down first ball and gets an edge that goes through short third and gully!

8:33 PM: WICKET. Hrithik falls after a confident knock on debut. Comes down, tries to slog but the top-edge is caught by Uthappa. Hrithik walks for 25 and we go to a timeout.

8:31 PM: DJ Bravo comes in to bowl his first over and Tilak takes the single first ball.

8:30 PM: FOUR! Lovely hit, stands tall and hits it through the line past a diving extra cover does Hrithik! He is growing in confidence!

8:26 PM: Hrithik survives! Comes down the track and tries to hit it out of the park, gets the edge but Jadeja shells it.

8:25 PM: FOUR! That is an impressive hit from young Hrithik! Short and he pulls it into the vacant deep mid-wicket region!

8:24 PM: 13 runs in that over and we are 69/4 in 11 overs. Is that the momentum boost we needed?

8:23 PM: FOUR! A first boundary for Hrithik! Fuller ball, smart play from the debutant to wait for the ball and use the pace to get it past first slip for four!

8:22 PM: SIX! A boundary after 29 balls and it is a sweet strike! Gets down to the full ball and nails slog-sweep, it falls flush on the ropes!

8:21 PM: Four off the over again.

8:17 PM: Dwaine Pretorius into the attack after the break. 

8:12 PM: Nine overs gone and we are 52/4.

8:08 PM: Young Hrithik Shokeen walks in at no.6 on MI debut. Need a big stand here from the two young guns!

8:07 PM: WICKET. SKY departs. He goes for that typical sit-down sweep off Santner, but gets the top-edge which goes into the hands of deep backward square.

8:04 PM: Just four singles in that over.

8:02 PM: CSK skipper Jadeja into the attack right after the powerplay and SKY takes a single to mid-wicket first ball.

8:00 PM: 11 off the sixth over and we are 42/3 now. A steady partnership brewing, we need to keep this going!

7:58 PM: SIX! Typical SKY shot! Sits down, is confident of the full ball and sends it sailing over deep backward square!

7:56 PM: Just the four off that over and we are 31/3 in five overs. How much can we get in the final powerplay over?

7:53 PM: FOUR! Ohh that's very fortunate but we needed some luck going our way. Tilak tried to cut one, edged it to first slip but Bravo could not hold on and it ran away.

7:51 PM: A single to deep mid-wicket for SKY and he brings up 2000 runs for MI! A lot more to come we are sure! We are 27/3 in four overs.

7:50 PM: And Tilak is off the mark with a punch down to long-off.

7:48 PM: Tilak Varma in at no.5. He has shared a couple of good partnerships with SKY, need one more here. Meanwhile, here comes the spinner Maheesh Theekshana.

7:46 PM: WICKET. DB has to go back. Walked down the track, tried to hit across the line and edges it behind to Dhoni.

7:43 PM: FOUR! SKY is playing beautifully! Gentle half-volley outside off, SKY drives it on the up past extra cover!

7:42 PM: DB survives! Tried to smash Santner, got a top-edge but Jadeja seemed to have misjudged the flight and it falls in no man's land. Phew!

7:40 PM: FOUR! SKY responds in the best possible way! Little full, SKY makes some room and drives through cover!

7:39 PM: Ohhh, SKY survives! Mitchell Santner from the other end and he almost bowled SKY.

7:37 PM: FOUR! Surya walks in at no.4 and straight drives his first ball down the ground for our first boundary! We are 6/2 after the first over.

7:35 PM: WICKET. Ishan falls. Rapid yorker swinging away from Ishan, he is unable to keep it out. Not an ideal start for us.

7:33 PM: The in-form DB in at no.3 and he gets a single off his second ball. First runs for us!

7:31 PM: WICKET. Ro walks back. Another inswinger, Ro seemed early into it and spoons a catch to mid-on. 

7:30 PM: An inswinging yorker first up and Ro safely sees it out.

7:29 PM: It will be young Mukesh Choudhary with the new ball for CSK.

7:28 PM: Out walk our openers - Captain Hitman and the Pocket Dynamo!

7:24 PM: It is a special game for Boom!

7:18 PM: Presenting our second debutant of the game!



7:12 PM: Here's our line-up tonight.



7:08 PM: There's gonna be some fire on the pitch tonight!



7:04 PM: "The surfaces have changed a bit since we first played here, teams batting first have won, so it's kind of a blessing in disguise for us," Rohit said at the toss.

7:00 PM: Ravindra Jadeja called it right at the toss and CSK will bowl first.

6:55 PM: A lot of fun out in the middle - good friends, Polly and Dwayne Bravo shared a big hug in there!

6:50 PM: Some news from the middle - Riley Meredith and Hrithik Shokeen will make their MI debuts in the big clash!

6:45 PM: Hello Paltan, it's time for the El Clasico of the Tata IPL! Are you excited??
