UPDATED POWER PLAY: Chennai off to rollicking start

The Chennai Super Kings got off to a rollicking start in their Tata IPL “El Clasico” clash against the Mumbai Indians after the home team won the toss and put them in to bat.

Sanju Samson, accompanied by Shivam Dube, was undefeated on 32 as CSK completed the power play on a healthy 72 for two wickets. The men out were skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sarfaraz Khan, both for 14, off the bowling of Allah Ghazanfar and Kiwi spinner Mitchell Santner respectively.

Mumbai skipper Hardik Pandya was the bowler to suffer most, going for 38 runs off his two overs on a pitch that looked a belter. South Africa’s Dewald Brevis is the man expected in next.

Mumbai Indians: Quinton de Kock (wk), Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (capt), Sherfane Rutherford, Mitchell Santner, Krish Bhagat, Jasprit Bumrah, AM Ghazanfar, Ashwani Kumar
