MS Dhoni defended CSK's style in the powerplay, but urged the batters to be more responsible and build partnerships. CSK did not hit a single six in the powerplay on Friday and managed just 31 runs in the first six overs.

In the 16th over of CSK's innings, Sunil Narine delivered a sharply turning ball that struck Dhoni on the pads. The on-field umpire wasted no time in raising his finger.

CSK's powerplay woes continued as they made 31 for the loss of two wickets, the second lowest by any team in six overs this season. It could have been much lower but for the 13 runs scored in the sixth over with back-to-back fours from Shankar off Chakaravarthy.
