Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad had been dominating the IPL orange cap race, outshining even the likes of Virat Kohli. However, his remarkable innings came to a sudden halt as Arshdeep Singh of the Punjab Kings delivered a thunderous blow.

Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, the Punjab Kings set the stage for a tense encounter at Chennai's home ground. The early stages of the CSK innings saw wickets tumble, with Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, and Ravindra Jadeja departing without significant contributions.

Amidst the chaos, Gaikwad emerged as a beacon of stability for Chennai, shouldering the responsibility of steering the innings forward. However, his resilience was put to the test in the 18th over when Arshdeep Singh unleashed a blistering yorker that shattered Gaikwad's stumps at a staggering speed of 136.3 kmph.

The precision of Singh's delivery left Gaikwad with little room for maneuver as his attempted shot only managed to deflect the ball onto his own stumps. Despite his valiant effort, Gaikwad's departure marked a pivotal moment in the match, leaving Chennai with a challenging task ahead.

As the game progresses, Chennai Super Kings find themselves at 149 for 19 overs, with the seasoned duo of MS Dhoni and Daryl Mitchell at the crease.
