On a rather one-sided affair between CSK vs PBKS, some records were made and some great display of bowling was shown from both sides. Chennai took the match with 6 wickets and 4.2 overs to spare. Deepak Chahar starred with his outstanding bowling performance of 4-13 in 4 overs including a maiden over. In the mere chase of 107, Chennai went past the target with help of a 66 runs partnership between Moeen Ali and Faf Du Plessis latter of whom stood at the crease till the end to see his team home.
Chennai did have a stumbling stone in end after losing Raina and Raydu in back-to-back deliveries to Shami but in the end, won the game easily after Sam Curran hit the ball past deep fine leg for four off the bowling of Rylie Meredith. Twitter had some interesting things to say about the game.

Of all the players that play the game at the moment … many are incredible … but my favourite overseas player is @imjadeja … @BCCI & @ChennaiIPL should build teams around him … #IPL
