Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja (4-0-18-2) did the star turn for the Super Kings with a brilliant spell during which he strangled the opposition batters to avenge the defeat suffered in the tournament opener. (Photo: Sportzpics)

Chasing 173, GT lost Wriddhiman Saha (12) in the third over. (Photo: Sportzpics)

Skipper Hardik Pandya (8) could not make much impact at number three, miscuing a cut off Theekshana for Jadeja to pouch a catch at point. (Photo: Sportzpics)

Sri Lanka's limited overs teams' captain Dasun Shanaka (17) could not get going as well and his reverse sweep off Jadeja landed in the hands of Theekshana. (Photo: Sportzpics)

Jadeja made things tougher for GT by castling the dangerous David Miller (4) to leave the opposition at 88 for 4 in the 13th over. (Photo: Sportzpics)

Dhoni lasted only 2 balls for his 1 run, much to the disappointment of an adoring Chepauk crowd. (Photo: Sportzpics)

For the home team, Ruturaj Gaikwad was the best batter, scoring a superb 60 off 44 while the others could not make a substantial contribution. (Photo: Sportzpics)

Pacer Mohammed Shami (2 for 28 in 4 overs) was the best bowler while Mohit Sharma (2/31) also picked up two wickets. Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed scalped a wicket each and put pressure on the batters in the middle overs. (Photo: Sportzpics)
