The 51-run stand between Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja stood out as a solitary exception on a night when Royals' leg-spinners Rahul Tewatia and Shreyas Gopal strangled the scoring rate in the middle overs. The two returned combined figures of 7-0-28-2 ensuring that the runs CSK got from overs 7 to 13 was the third lowest in this IPL.
