Watch: Chennai Silenced As MS Dhoni Drops Dangerous Andre Russell's Catch

Chennai Super Kings produced a very controlled bowling performance as Kolkata Knight Riders could manage only 137/9 in 20 overs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Monday. After opting to bowl, CSK bowlers , particularly Ravindra Jadeja and Tushar Deshpande, kept KKR quiet as they lost wickets at regular intervals. Both the bowlers took three wickets each as the dangerous KKR batting line-up was left with a tough job at hand. Towards the end of the innings, a rare incident happened - of that of MS Dhoni dropping a catch. 

It happened in the 18th over of Mustafizur Rahman. The Bangladesh star bowled one slow off-cutter as KKR's Andre Rusell got a thick outside-edge. Dhoni was slow and leapt with to his right. The ball hit the gloves and went down. Mustafizur Rahman was not pleased while the commentator said: "Even sound effects could not produce so much silence."

Hosts Chennai Super Kings restricted Kolkata Knight Riders to paltry 137 for 9 in their Indian Premier League match in Chennai on Monday. Seasoned all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja (3/18) led the charge with a three-wicket haul for CSK, who took wickets at regular intervals and did well to stem the flow of runs at the Chepauk.

Pacer Tushar Deshpande (3/33) also accounted for three batters while Mustafizur Rehman (2/22) picked two wickets.

Skipper Shreyas Iyer top scored for KKR with a 32-ball 34.

Brief Scores: Kolkata Knight Riders 137 for 9 in 20 overs (Shreyas Iyer 34, Sunil Narine 27; Ravindra Jadeja 3/18, Tushar Deshpande 3/33).

"I have been compelled to speak due to the existing situation in the country. The situation in the country is worrisome and a storm of hatred is posing grave danger to peace in the country," Ahmed Bukhari said. "You say your 'Mann Ki Baat' but you also need to listen to the 'Mann Ki Baat' of Muslims. The Muslims are troubled due to the prevailing conditions and worried about their future," Ahmed Bukhari said, referring to PM Modi's monthly radio pro...
