Deepak Chahar’s 4/13 Sets up CSK’s Easy 6 Wicket Win Over Punjab

Chennai Super Kings have celebrated MS Dhoni’s 200th IPL match with an easy victory over Punjab Kings on Friday night in Mumbai.

Earlier, MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bowl first as Chennai Super Kings restricted Punjab Kings to 106/8 in their 20 overs.

Deepak Chahar took four early wickets and bowled a miserly spell (4/13 in four overs) as PBKS found themselves tottering at 26 for five wickets after 6.2 overs.

From there, it was always going to be an uphill task for them and only Shahrukh Khan offered any resistance with the number 6 batsman walking in during the fifth over after the dismissal of Nicholas Pooran. He scored 47 off 36 balls and stayed at the crease till the last over but found very little support. Jhye Richardson made 15 off 22 and added 31 for the sixth wicket with Shahrukh.
