Chasing 170, Virender Sehwag got DD off with a flick off his pad for a six in the first over. Mohit Sharma jolted the DD innings with two wickets in his second over. First he had David Warner (1) drag one onto his stumps before trapping Manpreet Juneja (2) leg before. Mahela Jayawardene (6) pulled away Chris Morris for a boundary, before the bowler came back to trap him leg before. It only got worse for DD as they lost Sehwag the very next delivery caught in the deep off Mohit Sharma leaving them at 30 for 4 in 5.1 overs.

Jeevan Mendis (12) and Kedar Jadhav consolidated before the former was run out attempting a risky second run. Irfan Pathan (12) departed soon after caught by Dwayne Bravo off Ravindra Jadeja to leave DD six down. Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed Agit Agarkar (3) and Morne Morkel (2) in quick succession and Jadhav (31) followed them back. DD eventually were bowled out for 83 falling 86 runs short.

Earlier CSK won the toss and elected to bat. The team started off briskly as Murali Vijay hit Umesh Yadav for two boundaries in the third over. Morne Morkel then struck, trapping Vijay (18) to give DD their first wicket. Suresh Raina, playing his 100th match for CSK, got off the mark with a gorgeous cover drive. The DD bowlers though held their own and did well to keep CSK down to 60 at the halfway stage.

Raina then got into the act smashing Yadav for consecutive boundaries in the 11th over. Agarkar playing his first match of the season bowled a quiet first over before Hussey (65*) hit him for a six and a boundary in the 12th. Pathan got the wicket of Raina (30) caught behind bringing MS Dhoni to the crease. Dhoni was given a reprieve on two occasions; Mahela Jayawardene dropped him when he was on 5 and Agarkar dropped him off Yadav when he was on 17. Morkel's 17th over was taken apart for 19 runs as Dhoni (44) and Hussey attacked. With a few lusty blows CSK finished at 169 for 4 from their 20 overs.

Presentation

Mahela Jayawardene: Couple of days now, keep it simple, let players think of what went wrong. No shouting or anger from me, I am diplomatic, I will keep it that way. Hard to explain, everyone has to lift their game and create situations from where we can win matches. We have had enough chats and the boys are professional enough to realise what's expected out of them.

MS Dhoni: 170 was not on the cards, wasn't that kind of a wicket, Hussey got off to a start and it was important to capitalise. Look at the number of overs to decide who bats where, we also look at the bowlers and their overs remaining. You got to used to the pace of the wicket, did not think it was a fast wicket, at Chennai it's difficult to hit it so important to give yourself a few deliveries. We have lost a few games but it's good to get the perfect combination by the end. Quite a few came in the yellow tees and got a lot of support and fans help you when you are not going through a great time.

Michael Hussey, man of the match: I think opening's a very good place to bat, enjoying batting here. I don't think we have a clear defined role for me, it's about assessing the pitch quickly and along with the others, try and get going. Good to receive the sixes award too.

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores ...

He began his international career one year before Lara. Set to play his 200th and farewell Test at the Wankhede Stadium from Thursday, Tendulkar added two more teammates in Mumbai’s Rohit Sharma and Bengal’s Mohammad Shami who were capped against the West Indies last week at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. This took his teammates tally to 110 teammates, one behind England’s Frank Woolley (111 in 64 Tests) and seven behind England’s Graham Gooch (118...
