In a match that was elevated to a higher plane of existence by the presence of Sir Ravindra Jadeja, Chennai Super Kings his much-obliged side, out-classed Kings XI Punjab by ten wickets.
The great man, however, besides exerting himself upon the contest merely by dint of personality, bore little on the result.
The stars responsible for Chennai’s first win of the season, instead, at Mohali on Wednesday, were Dirk Nannes and openers Michael Hussey and Murali Vijay, who worked alongside a hospitable host that refused to hang on to their chances defending a modest total.
