At one point, CSK looked set to cross the 200-run mark comfortably. But Punjab Kings - desperate for a breakthrough - found their saviour in Chahal.

Despite having gone for runs earlier, the seasoned leg-spinner was trusted with the penultimate over - and boy, did he deliver.

With momentum firmly with Chennai, Punjab skipper Shreyas Iyer rolled the dice by turning to Chahal - hoping for a late twist. Chahal dismissed Dhoni on the second ball of the over - a good comeback after he was hit for a six a ball prior.

He then struck on the fourth ball, dismissing Deepak Hooda ,who attempted a wild shot but was picked out at backward point. Anshul Kamboj was dismissed next as he saw his off-stump flying.

Then came Noor Ahmad, who was caught in the deep. The leg-spinner’s second IPL hat-trick stunned even the Chepauk crowd into a brief silence.

Earlier in the game, Chahal had been hit by Sam Curran and Dewald Brevis. But Iyer held Chahal’s overs for the death, especially with MS Dhoni at the crease, who hasn’t had the best of records against wrist-spinners recently.

Chahal’s final figures - 4 wickets in 3 overs - don’t tell the full story. His spell derailed CSK’s innings, reducing them from 177/5 after 18 overs to just 190 all out in the 20th over.
