#3 Deepak Chahar’s vital cameo

Ad

In a move that shocked everybody, Deepak Chahar was sent above Dhoni, Bravo and Jadeja after the fall of a 4th wicket in the 11th over. What seemed to be a blunder turned out to be a masterstroke as Chahar provided the much-needed momentum to Chennai’s innings.

With 73 needed of the last 6 overs, Chahar launched into Ashwin, depositing him for 2 huge sixes and a four in the 15th over. He wasn’t done there as he then smashed Axar Patel for a six in the next over. His 20 ball 39 brought the required run rate down and got Chennai back into the match.
