The Royals, who maintained their winning run at home, clinching the 13th game on the trot, however, faced stiff challenges from the R Ashwin-Chris Morris pair, who built a 73-run partnership for the eighth wicket. But with James Faulkner dismissing Ashwin (46), Royals had the last laugh. Morris, on the other hand, was unbeaten on 26. (PTI)

After restricting the Royals to 159, all Chennai required was a good start. But with Pravin Tambe and Rahul Shukla delivering the goods once again, the visitors were never in the game. Tambe, who has been a story of success in the CLT20 so far, proved his class just when it mattered the most, with his figures reading 4-0-10-3. (PTI)

Having lost both openers Michael Hussey (9) and Murali Vijay (14) early in the innings, when CSK were looking to bounce back, it was Tambe, who dismissed S Badrinath for just 8. (PTI)

Trying to loft him, the Chennai batsman completely misread the delivery only to be stumped by Dishant Yagnik. By then, Chennai had slumped to 51/3 and a lot was expected from skipper Dhoni. But there are days, when nothing works in your favour and Friday was one such day. Instead of lifting the Super Kings, the captain's stay at the innings lasted for just seven balls, before being rapped on the pads by Rahul Shukla for only 3. (PTI)

That, perhaps, was the beginning of the end. After Dhoni's exit, Dwayne Bravo (3) and Ravindra Jadeja too were big flops. Moments later, Suresh Raina too was sent packing by Tambe for 29. (PTI)
