Lucknow bowlers were up against a strong batting lineup in tough bowling conditions. The seamers were carted all around the park in the initial overs. However, Ravi Bishnoi got rid of Ruturaj Gaikwad with a brilliant piece of fielding and bowled a great spell as he went for just 6 runs per over and got two important wickets. Other bowlers were expensive but Avesh Khan and Tye got two wickets apiece and bowled decently in the death to restrict Chennai from taking the game completely away from them.
