Raina played some excellent shot’s and added some valuble runs on the board and had to give his wicket to piyush chawla. The captain was in the field and kept playing his natural game. The match was stopped for a while as rain obstructed it, the overs were reduced to 18 .As soon as the game resumed dhoni and hayedn were ina hurry to score the runs in this attempt both of them played some disastrous shots which might be painful for the opponents but definitely entertained the crowd to maximum. Both of them completed their half centuries.Hayden departed to sreeshanth after hitting 3 consecutive sixes in his over . dhoni was joined by morkel though coud’nt play many balls rotated the strike well on the other end dhoni made the things go and finally they concluded the innigs for 185 runs for the loss of 3 wickets.

          A morkel started of the preceding’s for CSK and got an early break through. which made katich to come and continue the work he was striking the ball really well and kept the score board running. On the other end karan goel was ticking the board by rotating the strike.katich had to give his wicket to jakata after hitting him notoriously. Yuvraj replaced him and played his natural game. Kept hitting boundaries at regular intervals which made kingsXI pretty near to the target .Jayawardane too made some valuble contributions with some awesome shot round the ground. yuvraj was dropped by gony when he was at 19. Then he never looked back kept scoring runs in a spree. Now it was dhoni’s  idea to change the bowling ,and the ball was handed over to raina who really bowled well and contained  the batsmen from scoring runs in his  two over dream spell.which rapidly increased the asking rate. As  the regular bowlers were being hit really bad, dhoni had to take this step which proved very crucial.  Along with him balaji also displayed some excellent bowling skills under pressure and contained them in reaching the target. 

They had to hit 24 runs in the last over whre balaji gave only 10 runs which made CSK victorious.
