Failed to take the opportunities against the experimental batting-order

Chasing the fighting total like 154 runs, CSK had a very shaky start and then the team management took some surprise decisions for their middle-order batting line-up as Harbhajan Singh and Deepak Chahar were promoted at no.5 and no.6 position respectively.

KXIP bowlers had a big opportunity to dismiss them early and to create a cluttering situation in CSK innings. But instead of that, the KXIP bowlers dropped their rhythm and the CSK players grabbed that opportunity perfectly.
