Deepak Chahar finished with figures of 4/13, bowling all his 4 overs at one go as the CSK pacer ran through the Punjab Kings top-order, showcasing his full range. He got Mayank Agarwal with a late out-swinger that squared by the Punjab Kings batsman. Chris Gayle, who was dropped at point in Chahar first over, was decieved by a slower one.
