What happened during the match?
In the 18th over of the match, Stubbs was standing tall in the crease as their only hope. At that time, DC needed 32 runs in 12 overs, and in the middle of the over, Nitish Rana, Karun Nair and DC coach Hemang Badani were seen to argue with the fourth umpire about sending a new pair of gloves, but the fourth umpire refuted the decision. At that time, Stubbs was on 60 of 32 balls, but his innings did not go long as Tristan Stubbs fell short on Jamie Overton’s delivery, and Delhi got all out after playing 20 overs and faced a defeat by 23 runs.
CSK’s turn around
CSK as a team has not made any mistakes from bat to ball to field. They were on point; on the other hand, Axar Patel and the brigade faltered in areas where they should not, and that gave extra moments to CSK to build their castle of runs on the wicket of Chennai. Also, in batting, DC lost wickets back-to-back, which did not give them the rhythm they wanted.

With the Caribbean power, CSK handed the debut cap to Gurjapneet Singh, and suddenly, CSK looked changed.
