23:34 (IST)25 Apr 2022Arshdeep sizzles, Dhoni teases but doesn’t pull off a heist 

When MS Dhoni walloped a short ball for a six over backward square-leg and calmly allowed the  slower short ball to sail over his head and checked if the square-leg umpire would call it a wide, it seemed dark clouds had descended on the Punjab dugout. Anil Kumble’s jaw clenched. Rishi Dhawan was playing his first match of the season and had an unenviable task of bowling the last over. He had the cushion of runs though after Arshdeep Singh had bowled yet another brilliant over in the final overs of an innings. Over the last couple of years, Arshdeep has been one of the best Indian bowlers in terms of the coolness of execution, and he gave away just 8 runs. Now, Dhawan produced his best yorker to keep Dhoni scoreless but served an outside-leg tripe next ball. It was in the slot too but Dhoni was a touch too early with his heave and toe-ended a dolly to deep midwicket where Jonny Bairstow pouched, smiled, and threw the ball in the air. Game over.  The difference in the end was perhaps Banuka Rajpaksa`s dismissal in the 18th over of the first innings that allowed Liam Livingstone to produce a fiery cameo to take Punjab to a matchwinning total.    

23:27 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live: Punjab win

Last 3 balls now and Pretorius on strike. Just one from the 4th ball. This is probably over now. Jadeja goes downtown for a 6 in the 5th ball. 13 needed off 1 now. It`s done. Punjab win by 11 runs.

Last over and who will bowl it?? Dhoni is on strike and it`s going to be Rishi Dhawan. Dhoni Dhoni cheers fill the stadium and that`s a six to start!!!! That is not where to bowl at all!!! Can he do it tonight as well? That`s a wide!!! Nailbiter, absolute nailbiter. Good ball this one. Straight and Dhoni can only hit it hard and that`s back into the bowler`s hand. And that`s taken!!!!! Dhoni is gone!!! Rishi Dhawan`s done the trick. CSK 168/6 after 19.3 overs.

We will enjoy his Presence 💛🦁 #Dhoni 💥 pic.twitter.com/tpA8hftJQd

— Ash MSDian (@ashMSDIAN7) April 25, 202223:19 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live:Single four off the over

19th over now and Jadeja is on strike. A single to give the strike back to Dhoni. Arshdeep Singh will now have to bowl to the greatest finisher in the game. Excellent fielding from Mayank to stop a sure shot boundary. Dhoni hits one and that could have been out but Rabada did not move. Probably the lights impeded his vision. Great over by Arshdeep. Just singles so far. And that`s a four by Dhoni. What a shot!!! No stopping that. A single to end the over and Dhoni keeps strike for the final over. CSK 161/5 after 19 overs

23:11 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live: BOWLED!!

Rabada in to bowl the 18th over. That`s swept for a four by Jadeja. 150 up for Chennai. And bowled!!!! Rayudu looked knackered and Rabada completely beats him. MS Dhoni will come next. CSK 153/5 after 17.5 overs.

23:08 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live: Mayank’s ‘Koi baat nahi’ captain’s cam 

With 69 runs needed from 28 balls, Ambati Rayudu smashed Sandeep Singh for three consecutive sixes. Two full tosses were deposited over long-on and long-leg and a short ball was slashed over backward point boundary. The camera zoomed in on to Punjab captain Mayank Agarwal, looking for a reaction. Over the last few days, they have got various reactions from captains: the over-animated Rohit Sharma, struggling to turn around the fortunes of his team, non-expressive face of Ravindra Jadeja, or the face of KL Rahul, who rarely shows much emotion except when he tries to sledge the South Africans, the smile of Faf du Plessis, Hardik Pandya’s version of cool, or the amusing boy`s version of swagger from Shreyas Iyer. And so, as the camera zoomed in, all Mayank offered was a “Koi baat nahi! Koi baat nahi (no worries, no problem) to his bowler. Sandeep perhaps took it to heart and offered another short ball which was duly smashed to another boundary, 

23:07 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live: Great over by Arshdeep

Arshdeep brought back in the attack now. The timeout came at the wrong time for Chennai. They were on a roll. Good start by the PBKS bowler. 2 balls, 2 runs. Great over by Arshdeep. Just 6 off this one. CSK 147/4 after 17 overs.

22:58 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live: Triple sixes and a four by Rayudu

Time for the slog overs now and Sandeep Sharma will bowl the 16th. Good stop by Dhawan to save a boundary. Next ball is a full toss and that`s punished for a 6!!! Rayudu can do no wrong it seems. Another!!! Six more!!! Do not bowl there to Rayudu. Sharma is finding out the hard way tonight. Next ball and the result is the same. A six!!!! This time to deep backward point. A four to end the over. CSK 141/4 after 16 overs.

15th over now and Chahar will bowl this one. Ohhhhhhh!! That was slashed, a big catch it call from the bowler and that was agonisingly close to a out but that`s a four. A six next to bring up Rayudu`s first 50 of the season. That`s a review for LBW now on Jadeja. Umpire gives not out but Punjab review. Jadeja survives. CSK 118/4 after 15 overs

Sandeep Sharma back to bowl the 14th over. 2 runs off the first two balls. Next ball yields two wides. Late signal from the umpire. That`s a cut by Rayudu to hit a four and follows it up with another as 100 comes up for Chennai. CSK 103/4 after 14 overs.

22:36 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live: OUT!!!

Rabada in to bowl the 13th and is hit for a four by Ruturaj and what do you know?? He tries to hit another big one, it goes up and lands safely in on the palms of Mayank Agarwal. CSK 89/4 after 12.3 overs.

— Punjab Kings (@PunjabKingsIPL) April 25, 202222:33 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live: Nifty over from Arshdeep

Arshdeep Singh in to bowl the 12th as Rayudu and Gaikwad have found their groove. 2 runs off the first 2 balls. Just 3 from this over. Decent one. CSK 84/3 after 12 overs.

22:29 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live: Rayudu on the charge

FOUR! Ambati Rayudu attacks Liam Livingstone and hits him for a four! And then a SIX! Another big hit from Ambati Rayudu and he is turning it on here. Floated up on the pads, Rayudu gets low and launches it high and handsome over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. 12 runs from the over. CSK: 81/3 after 11 overs

22:25 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live: 13 from the over

SIX! That`s gigantic! Rishi Dhawan serves another gift in an effort to bowl a slower one. It`s a full toss-around leg at 125 clicks, Ambati Rayudu picks it up off his pads and smokes it over square leg. Into the top tier it goes!  CSK: 64/3 after 9 overs

22:24 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live: Gone! Drags it on!

OUT! A little bit of movement has undone Shivam Dube. Rishi Dhawan bowls to his strength. Lands it on a good length around off, at 130 kph and gets it to nip back in slightly. Shivam Dube tries to drive but leaves a big gap between his bat and pad. It takes the inner edge and crashes onto the stumps. CSK: 40/3 after 7 overs, need 148 needed off 78 balls. 

Rishi Dhawan picks up his first wicket. The ball shapes in and Shivam Dube inside edges the ball onto the stumps! Live - https://t.co/V5jQHQZNn0#PBKSvCSK#TATAIPLpic.twitter.com/hncjEgohKN

— IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) April 25, 202222:23 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live: Dhawan the blacksmith

Rishi Dhawan did an Indian version of scooter`s helmet when he came on to bowl. That glass-panelled mask that blacksmiths wear while soldering iron and those who drive scootys.   It’s to protect himself from fierce straight hits by the batsmen. Five years back in 2017, in a T20 game in Hamilton, Otago’s Warren Barnes is said to have become the first bowler to wear a protective visor. It was a mix between baseball visor and a track cyclist`s helmet, that he had himself designed with the help of his coach. Barnes felt he needed the protection as he tended to drop his head on the release of the ball and lost sight for that fraction of a second when a missile might well be launched by the batsman. Dhawan’s gear was less flashy, seemed a more a blacksmith’s version. Not sure if the helmet had any part to play but he also got a wicket of Shivam Dube, who was caught on the crease, inside edging an attempted punch on to his stumps. On air, Abhinav Mukund, the former India opener, felt Dube was expecting his nemesis - the short ball - and hence his feet froze.-  By Sriram Veera

22:05 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live: BOWLED!

The leg stump goes for a walk and Chennai lose their second wicket inside the Powerplay. Arshdeep Singh was unlucky on the last delivery but this time around he takes revenge. Mitchell Santner walks too much across the stumps with his attempted flick but fails to make any connection. Great start for Punjab! CSK: 33/2 after 6 overs

21:55 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live: Why Rishi Dhawan is wearing a face guard

For all those wondering why Rishi Dhawan is wearing a faceguard! This is because Dhawan has a nose injury, he dislocated it when a ball hit him during practice and had to go through minor surgery. To protect it from any further risk of damage, he is wearing it.

21:51 (IST)25 Apr 2022PBKS vs CSK Live: Poor fielding

TWO LEG BYES! Poor fielding from Arshdeep Singh but luckily for him Jitesh Sharma is lightning quick and save the four. Gaikwad looks to work it away but the ball comes off the thigh pad and goes towards the short fine leg. Singh lets it through but the keeper chases it down and saves a couple of runs. CSK: 18/1 after 4 overs
