Imran Tahir – 7. Had his figures slightly spoilt by a last over six by Hooda over extra cover. He was not alone in that. Sportzpics for BCCI
KINGS XI PUNJAB RATINGS: KL Rahul – 6. Extended his lead at the top of the IPL run-maker charts with 29 more this time, before he was castled by Ngidi. Sportzpics for BCCI
Mayank Agarwal – 7. Contributed a quick 26 to an opening stand with Rahul worth 48 in a little over five overs. Sportzpics for BCCI
Chris Gayle – 5. Played around a straight ball from Tahir while sweeping and was out lbw for 12 from 19. Sportzpics for BCCI
Nicholas Pooran – 4. Feathered a faint nick behind while attempting a pull off Thakur, having made just two. Sportzpics for BCCI
Mandeep Singh – 5. Like Gayle and Pooran before him, he perished playing across the line, this time to a low bouncing delivery from Jadeja. Sportzpics for BCCI
Deepak Hooda – 9. Brought up his second IPL half century with an exhibition of glorious extra cover driving to hoist his side to a competitive total. Sportzpics for BCCI
Jimmy Neesham - 5. Fell to a fine diving boundary catch by Gaikwad after he top-edged a pull off the first ball he faced from Ngidi. Misfielding for the winning run sort of summed up the day. Sportzpics for BCCI
Chris Jordan – 5. His troubled campaign ended in similar fashion to so much that had gone before: he huffed and puffed for one for 31. Sportzpics for BCCI
Murugan Ashwin – 8. Went for just 17 from his four overs of leg spin, and had a wicket chalked off by the third umpire. Sportzpics for BCCI
Ravi Bishnoi – 4. Ended his breakthrough season on a low, going wicketless for 39 runs from his four overs. Sportzpics for BCCI
Mohammed Shami – 6. A tidy enough economy rate as he went for 29 from his four overs, but his side really needed wickets. Sportzpics for BCCI
CHENNAI SUPER KINGS RATINGS: Faf du Plessis – 7. Made the most of a life, after Hooda grassed a difficult chance when he was on five, with a rapid 48 to fuel the run chase. Sportzpics for BCCI
Ruturaj Gaikwad – 8. A campaign that started with him contracting Covid, then a run of low scores, ended on a high as he made another match-winning half-century. Sportzpics for BCCI
Ambati Rayudu – 6. Encapsulated the CSK season in that he was showing signs of wear as he limped to the close, but got there in the end. Sportzpics for BCCI
MS Dhoni – 7. Not needed to bat, but managed his bowlers cannily on a pitch that would not have been out of place in Chennai. Sportzpics for BCCI
Narayan Jagadeesan – 5. Rarely spotted in the field, and not required to bat, either. At least he was able to savour a win. Sportzpics for BCCI
Sam Curran – 5. An inauspicious end to a season in which he became a central cog for CSK, as he bowled just two overs for 15. Sportzpics for BCCI
Ravindra Jadeja – 7. His left-armers were central to slowing Punjab’s progress in the middle overs, as he took one for 17 off three. Sportzpics for BCCI
Deepak Chahar – 5. Not as threatening as he has been recently in this tournament, as he went at 10 an over from his three overs. Sportzpics for BCCI
Shardul Thakur – 6. Picked up Pooran, with a delivery that was some way short of his best, in a steady outing with the ball. Sportzpics for BCCI
Lungi Ngidi – 6. Bowled both openers, got Neesham, too, but feeding Hooda’s cover drives was not the savviest plan. Sportzpics for BCCI
