Put into bat first, openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway gave CSK a flying start. The duo took their time to settle down and were watchful for the first four overs as Chennai were 29/0. However, in the next two overs, they freed their arms. (IPL Image)

It was Anrich Nortje, who dismissed Ruturaj (41 off 33) to break the 110-run opening stand and give some respite to Delhi. (IPL Image)

Shivam Dube, who came to bat next, wasn't able to find his timing and played a few dot deliveries, which slowed down CSK's run rate a little. However, once Dube found his rhythm, he smashed a few big sixes to up the run rate while Conway was playing second fiddle during those overs. (IPL Image)

With only four overs to go, Conway tried to up the ante but he couldn't find the timing and edged the ball for Rishabh Pant behind the wickets. He scored 87 runs off 49 balls. (IPL Image)

With 17 balls to go, skipper Dhoni walked in to bat and hit Marsh for a six and boundary to give a push to CSK's innings. Moeen (9) and Uthappa (0), who came to bat after Rayudu's (5) wicket, fell for quick succession in the last over of the innings but Dhoni's cameo took CSK to 208/6 (IPL Image)

Anrich Nortje (3/42), Khaleel Ahmed (2/28), and Mitchell Marsh (1/34) were the wicket-takers for Delhi. (IPL Image)
