  2. Man of the Match Moeen Ali (26 and 3-7) leads the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on both runs scored (108)  and wickets taken (4, jointly with Deepak Chahar) in this IPL so far.  He also holds the maximum sixes hit by a CSK batsman (5), alongside Rayudu and Raina.
  3. Ruturaj Gaikwad (10) failed to get a big innings opening the batting yet again but got his first double digit score. He is having a poor series scoring just 20 runs in his 3 innings so far.
