Here’s how Twitter reacted:
So far the performance by @mipaltan has been incredible. Brilliant start by @trent_boult & @Jaspritbumrah93.
The support by the rest of the bowling attack was enough to restrict @ChennaiIPL to a low total of 114 at Sharjah.
Who was your gamechanger of the 1st innings?#CSKvMI
