Shankar played an impactful hand for his team while batting at 5. The all-rounder ended with the innings of unbeaten 42 runs off 22 balls. He batted with a strike rate of over 190 and also slammed 4 sixes in his innings. His powerful knock took his team to a total of 221/6.

Apart from Shankar, N Jagadeesan (57), Baba Indrajith (25), Boopathi Kumar (28) and skipper Shahrukh Khan (39) played decently. Based on the collective effort with the bat, Tamil Nadu ended up posting a massive total on the board.

Pandya, on the other hand, didn’t have a great outing with the ball. The all-rounder bowled three overs and gave 44 runs. For Baroda, Lukman Meriwala was the pick of the bowlers as he bagged three wickets.

Shankar slamming massive sixes will be a big boost for Chennai Super Kings. The all-rounder was acquired by the five-time champions for INR 1.2 crore. He would be hoping to carry on his good form and help the Chennai Super Kings lift their sixth title in the league.
