Yuzvendra Chahal to Ruturaj Gaikwad, SIX! That was struck powerfully and has gone quite a distance. It was a good over so far, but Ruturaj spoils the over for Chahal. The spinner tosses this one up and lands it around off and middle, Ruturaj Gaikwad gets on his knees and powers this one over long on. 9 off the over.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Faf du Plessis, An appeal for LBW now, but not given! This is tossed up again, but on leg, it spins back in and hits Faf's pad, as there is an appeal from Chahal. Nothing from the umpire. Must have pitched outside leg.

Strategic Time-Out! Chennai are off to a good start here. Both Gaikwad and du Plessis are looking good and they have played some lovely shots. They have raced to 51 inside the Powerplay and are looking good for a big score. Bangalore, on the other hand, were good in the first few overs but they have started to leak runs now. They need to bowl better and try to get wickets.

Navdeep Saini to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! Oh, my word! That was glorious! Made it look so easy but playing a cover drive is never easy. This is a good length ball, outside off, Ruturaj Gaikwad leans into the stroke and pushes this one with finesse through covers. Chennai are at 51/0 at the end of the Powerplay!

Navdeep Saini to Ruturaj Gaikwad, NO BALL AND MISFIELD! Not the best work out there from the bowler and the Bangalore skipper too! A full toss on middle and leg, Ruturaj Gaikwad makes room and drives this one to mid off, where Virat Kohli misfields and allows a run. Also, the siren goes off! Saini has overstepped and so this will be a no ball. Free Hit coming up...
