Live updates from the second innings
- Over 20 (171/6)
MS Dhoni showed his prowess with the bat as he hammered Anrich Nortje for couple of boundaries and two sixes in the final over of the match. However, DC have registered a comprehensive victory over the five-time champions CSK by 20 runs, first of the ongoing season of the IPL. MS Dhoni and Jadeja remained not out on 37 off 16 balls and 21 off 17 balls respectively. - Over 19 (151/6)
Mukesh Kumar bowled a brilliant 19th over and has made the game for DC out of nowhere, picking three crucial wickets in his three overs. He then nailed the perfect yorkers on first five balls, four against MS Dhoni and conceded a couple on the final ball to Jadeja. Just five runs came from it. CSK have lost the match technically as they need 41 runs off the last over as Dhoni and Jadeja failed to hit a six or a boundary in the 19th over. - Over 18 (146/6)
Khaleel Ahmed came into the attack to bowl his final over of the innings. He has been the most impressive bowler of the match so far, with three overs, two wickets and conceded just nine runs. Dhoni smashed one over covers for a six, but still 12 runs came of it including three wides. One boundary per over can't hurt DC now. CSK need to buckle and need 23 runs per over to win this encounter. Still a decent over from the left-arm pacer. - Over 17 (134/6)
Mukesh picked his third wicket in the form of Shivam Dube before Dhoni and Jadeja hit him for three boundaries in an over. Dhoni opened his account with a boundary and then got dropped on the second. Jadeja edge one towards third-man for a four and then Dhoni played one through the covers for a boundary. Can Dhoni and Jadeja take CSK over the finishing line? 14 runs came from the over, but they still need 57 runs off 18 balls. - Over 16 (120/5)
Anrich Nortje came back into the attack and bowled a very economical over. He nailed couple of yorkers and mixed it with slower deliveries, keeping the batters guessing what is coming next. CSK now need 71 off final four overs and DC have plenty of overs left of their best bowler in the arsenal. It is definitely going to be nail-biting encounter. - Over 15 (113/5)
Expensive over from experienced Ishant Sharma, 10 runs came from the over including a No-ball. Jadeja welcomed Ishant with a boundary on the first ball, but then both CSK batters failed to capitalize on it and make it 15-20 run over. CSK batters need to shift their gears now to secure a win. - Over 14 (103/5)
Mukesh Kumar dismissed a set Ajinkya Rahane (45) on the third ball of the 13th over. Rahane gave a dolly to David Warner. Sameer Rizvi (0) was out on the first delivery as Mukesh Kumar struck for the second time in the over. CSK slipped to 102 for 5 and from here, the Rishabh Pant-led side was favourites to win the clash. - Over 13 (101/3)

Impressive over from Ishant Sharma and the DC pacers have been brilliant so far, They bowling on good length, outside off and getting some seam movement from the surface. Three runs from the over. - Over 1 (3/1)

Nine runs from the over. - Over 10 (95/1)
Some sensational stuff in the field from Pathirana as he takes a blinder at third-man as Warner tries to go for a reverse scoop. A much-needed breakthrough brings Rishabh Pant to the batting crease. Only four runs from the over and that might halt some momentum of the batting team’s scoreboard.
