Opting to bat, Chennai Super Kings posted 160 for three after a rapid fifty from Du Plessis, who palyed his first match of the campaign and that was followed by a good finish from skipper Dhoni and Ambati Rayudu.

CSK made three changes to their side as they handed Kuggeleijn his IPL debut besides bringing in Harbhajan Singh and Du Plessis in place of injured Dwyane Bravo, Mohit Sharma and Shardul Thakur. And the incoming trio rewarded that with an excellent performance in their respective roles.

Kings XI, meanwhile, brought back Chris Gayle and Andrew Tye in place of Hardus Viljoen and Mujeeb ur Rahman. And many feel the dropping of Mujeeb played a crucial role in Punjab losing the match.

Punjab captain Ravichandran Ashwin picked up three wickets and fellow Tamil Nadu bowler Murugan Ashwin also bowled well in his four overs. But Sam Curran and Tye conceded 44 runs in the last three overs to allow Chennai post a competitive total.

In reply, Kings XI managed to score only 138 for 5 in their 20 overs.

After a double wicket maiden by Harbhajan in the second over which included the back-to-back dismissals of Gayle and Mayank Agarwal, Rahul and young Sarfaraz scored fifties, but failed to take the visitors past the line.
