IPL 2019, CSK vs DC: Chennai crush Delhi by 80 runs

A Patel to S Raina, Short delivery, Raina pulls it through mid-wicket for just a single.

MS Dhoni walks out to bat amidst a huge roar from the Chepauk crowd!

A Patel to du Plessis, OUT! Taken in the deep! The 83-run stand is broken and Faf is out of here. A wicket at the perfect time for Delhi. Faf and Raina were accelerating and this will put some sort of a halt to Chennai's hitting. Tossed up outside off, this is with a bit of less pace. 85.6 kph. Du Plessis comes down the track again and looks to go inside out but this time, he is not quite to the pitch of the ball. It hits the bottom of the bat and goes towards long off. It is actually a good catch but Dhawan has to cover some ground running sideways and then back. Eventually, he takes it and does a 'thigh-slap' towards the crowd.

A Patel to du Plessis, SIX! 'CATCH IT WITH A DIVE!' screams Simon Doull on air, to Lisa Sthalekar. That landed right in front of the commentary box. Full and outside off, du Plessis comes down the track and sends it flying down the ground!

A length ball outside off, Faf du Plessis backs away to the leg side, spots the change in pace and smacks it over extra cover! Faf moves to 31 from 36 balls and this stand is now picking up - 74 from 55 deliveries.

A Mishra to du Plessis, Tossed up on off, Faf hits it over covers for a run. Shikhar Dhawan has to run a long way to his right and there is ample opportunity for the second but Raina is happy with one. Faf is not happy with his partner. He wanted the second...
