              Chennai: A King-size shock! That's what it was as Chennai Super Kings went down to kings XI in the Super Over on Sunday.

          Set a target of 10 in the Super Over after a tie, Mahela Jayawardene hit the first ball for a six off Muttiah Muralitharan only to get out off the next.

        But Yuvraj singh held his nerves, played an audacious reverse sweep off the fourth ball to finish it off.

        Earlier, Parthiv Patel almost took CSK home, but they faltered just when it mattered and lost wickets in a heap as the match went into a tie.

        Set a modest target of 137, Parthiv went out in the 18th over and CSK couldn't manage to score 10 runs off the last over off Juan Theron, making his IPL debut. the south African bowled a brilliant Super Over as well, getting both Suresh Raina and Matthew Hayden out.

      Earlier, Muralitharan showed age has not withered his skills as he had kings XI under his spell (4-0-16-3). The Kandy bowler 's magic meant that CSK had a modest total to chase after Suresh Taina won the toss and elected to field in the IPL match.

     Raina did well as a captain, taking a cue from Dhoni, to rotate the bowlers and never allowed Kings XI to settle. Albie Morkel  (4-0-23-2) gave Murali adequate as Preity's boys failed to break the shackles.
