#2 Persisting with Deepak Chahar for three overs in powerplay

Defending a tricky total of 182, CSK needed some early breakthroughs in the first six overs to put some pressure on the opposition up front. The new ball bowler in Deepak Chahar was a great foil on such a slow pitch in Hyderabad.
The right-arm medium fast was impressive in his first spell of three overs as he bagged three crucial wickets to make the game evenly poised after the powerplay.
Much due to the success in first two overs, he was given the third over on the trot as he managed to scalp Deepak Hooda to finish with the figures of 7/3 in the powerplay.
