Watch:
Ravindra Jadeja put in a brilliant performance to restrict the visitors to a modest 134/7.
Jadeja was the best bowler for CSK with figures of 3/22, while Abhishek Sharma (34) was the top-scorer for Sunrisers, who failed to score after being sent in to bat by skipper MS Dhoni.

Experienced Jadeja (3/22) and Mahesh Tikshana (1/27) strangled the SRH batting unit, with Dhoni bowling the spinners for over 7 to 15.

Sharma, who hit Singh’s first six of the match in the third over, hit three fours and a six before becoming Jadeja’s first victim.
Left-handed batsman Ajinkya Rahane took a good catch in the deep as soon as Jadeja came into action.
Agarwal, who was dropped at No.6, didn’t last too long.
After surviving a chance to be caught and bowled by Jadeja, who could not hold on to the chance that came Klaasen’s way, Agarwal jumped out of the crease only to miss the ball as Dhoni did the rest behind the stumps.
