Earlier, LSG captain KL Rahul's decision to bowl first after winning the toss seemed strategic.

Dhoni's unbeaten 28 off just 9 deliveries, boasting a strike rate of 311.11, added crucial runs to the scoreboard. Additionally, Ravindra Jadeja's unbeaten 57 off 40 deliveries played a pivotal role in CSK's strong batting display.
