Rohit batted from start to finish for his unbeaten 105 off 63 deliveries his second IPL century but he could not find a partner who could stay with him long enough and build a big partnership.

Dube slammed an unbeaten 66 off 38 deliveries, while Gaikwad smashed a 40-ball 69, including five maximums, as the duo put up a 90-run stand after CSK had lost openers Ajinkya Rahul (5) and Rachin Ravindra (21) cheaply.
