IPL 2024: Rahul Chahar, Harshal Patel Star With Three-fers As PBKS Restrict CSK To 167/9
Chennai Super Kings: Leg-spinner Rahul Chahar and pacer Harshal Patel starred with three-fers as Punjab Kings restricted Chennai Super Kings to 167/9 in their 20 overs at the HPCA Stadium here on Sunday. At one point, CSK were cruising at 69/1 in seven overs and seemed to be on course for a 200-plus score. But Chahar’s 3-23, including taking two wickets in the eighth over, and Harshal’s 3-24 ensured CSK fell way short of an imposing total, despite Ravindra Jadeja’s 43.
Pushed into batting first by PBKS, CSK were dealt an early blow when Ajinkya Rahane looked to flick off Arshdeep Singh but hit straight to the fielder at mid-wicket. Daryl Mitchell began by pulling and lofting with panache to collect four and six respectively off Arshdeep.
Ruturaj Gaikwad cut loose in the last over of Power-play by smashing three fours to take 19 runs off Harpreet Brar as CSK finished Power-play at 60/1. But Chahar applied brakes on CSK’s run-scoring by taking out Gaikwad and Shivam Dube in successive deliveries -– both nicking behind to keeper.
