The 8th match of the IPL 2021 between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings is taking place at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Chennai captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and decided to bowl first. Initially Deepak Chahar gave Punjab a big blow. In the fourth delivery of the first over, he bowled a clean sweep for Mayank Agarwal. Mayank Agarwal could not even open his account. He was dismissed for scoring zero runs in two balls. Even Punjab Kings captain KL Rahul could not do anything special today. He was run out by Ravindra Jadeja’s bullet throw.
Ravindra Jadeja struck out KL Rahul with a superb delivery when Punjab scored 15 runs in the fifth delivery of the third over. KL Rahul was dismissed for 5 runs. Jadeja, who was injured during a tour of Australia in December, has returned to the field of cricket through IPL 2021. Jadeja was fractured during his tour of Australia.
