On the second ball of the first over, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma failed to read an inswinger on full length.

Santner easily completed the catch to dismiss the captain for a two-ball duck.
After a wide and single, Ishan Kishan was on strike on the 5th delivery of the match. Mukesh delivered a 139.8 KPHs full delivery and showed a hint of away swing. Kishan played all around it, on the wrong line and was beaten on the outside edge of the bat. The off-stump flew into the air and Ishan Kishan lost his balance and was down on the ground as the stumps went for a flight.
4-time champions Chennai Super Kings were off to great start courtesy of the young bowler's brilliant first over, dismissing both openers for a duck. Rohit was dismissed for a 2-ball duck while Ishan Kishan was dismissed for a golden duck, with Mumbai reduced to 2/2 after the first over.
