Arshdeep returns to bowl from the other end as Gaikwad takes a quick single to kick off the over. Rahane slashes the ball over backward point for an impressive boundary, followed by a single. Gaikwad showcases his skills by picking up a beautifully timed four off a slower ball. He then attempts a swing but misses, prompting an LBW appeal from Arshdeep, which is ultimately denied. The CSK skipper concludes the over with another boundary.
A total of 14 runs are added to the scoreboard, bringing CSK's total to 37-0 after five overs.
Curran continues as Rahane and Gaikwad rotate the strike, each taking a single. However, a couple of legbyes follow as Jitesh dives but fails to stop the ball, allowing it to race to the boundary. Rahane then sends the ball airborne, narrowly evading a fielder and dropping just in front of the rope, resulting in four runs for Rahane. The momentum continues as Rahane scores another boundary, followed by yet another four on the next delivery, completing a hat-trick of boundaries.
A total of 18 runs are amassed from the over, concluding the powerplay with CSK at an impressive 55-0.
