CSK 14-1 (2 Ovs) vs RR | SCORECARD

Nandre Burger comes in from the other end, with no slip in place.

Samson starts cautiously, dabbing one towards point for a quick single. Gaikwad pushes one towards cover but doesn't get any runs. A late nudge off the next delivery brings four leg byes -- Burger's line is straight, but he's fighting back well. He bowls a short-of-a-length delivery on leg stump; Gaikwad tries to nudge it but is hit high on the body. The next ball drifts down leg and is called a wide. Gaikwad taps one for a quick single but then, Burger strikes! He uproots the off stump, and Sanju Samson departs for 6 off 7 balls.

CSK lose a key wicket early, and after 2 overs, they are 14 for 1. Burger has made an immediate impact.
