CSK’s Mitchell Santner made a biggest mess on the day as he dropped a straightforward opportunity near the boundary that went over the ropes for a six. The incident happened in the 9th over of the innings.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa hit Jadeja’s delivery to straight to Santner at deep-midwicket. The fielder who got his hands on the ball running backwards however squandered the opportunity as he failed to grab the ball which burst through his hands and fell over the rope, giving Rajapaksa a life as well as six valuable runs.

This was however not the first time Rajapaksa was dropped in the game as earlier Ruturaj Gaikwad too gave a life to the Sri Lankan batsman. In the seventh over of the innings he hit one straight up in the air towards deep square leg fielder. Gaikwad ran from the boundary and put in a dive. He got his hands to the ball but failed to grab it spilling the opportunity.
