Avesh Khan took out du Plessis on the fourth ball of the second over and on the first ball of the third over Chris Woakes took out Ruturaj, leaving CSK in a bit of a bother and looking to rebuild. Suresh Raina and Moeen Ali started building the innings by stitching up a partnership, but in the ninth over Ashwin got the better of Moeen Ali. Suresh Raina and Ambati Raidu are looking to build together to take CSK to a good total that gives them a chance at taking on Delhi Capitals.
