Chennai bowling was looking weak from the start all were saying but the first match defeat justified this as bowlers were not able to defend the target. Rajvardhan Hangargekar picked up 3 wickets on his debut but their impact player Tushan Deshpande leaked runs and Chennai needed to add a 6th bowling option.
