MS Dhoni comes to the crease as Ravichandran Ashwin got caught at the deep against Liam Livingstone. 

CSK are in big trouble, and they look like they're out of the game already. 

But, this is where the NRR would come handy and they would love to score as many as they can. 

Dayal pitched the ball a bit short, and Dube wanted to go for a big pull shot in the leg side. 

But he also managed to play the ball down on to the stumps. 

CSK 81/6

CSK 75/5

CSK lose their fourth one.
