MS Dhoni dropped the order at number seven, promoting players like Sam Curran and Ruturaj Gaikwad, and has been criticized for that, as well as a slow start to his innings during a major race chase. CSK was left with 16 short races, despite Dhoni hitting three sixes in the final.

Kagiso Rabada showed why he could be a strong contender for the Purple Cap this season, posting figures of 2/28 and also choosing both fields during the Super Over.
All-rounder Marcus Stoinis, overly impressed with a 53-for-21 knockout, showed he could play a crucial role on the ball too, at 2-29.
