Though Rao and Nagar put on 48  runs for the fifth wicket, there was no appreciabl emomentum in the  innings.<\/p>\n<p>The big-hits virtually dried up as the Super Kings  bowlers kept it tight and barring an occasional lose ball, the batsmen  had to work hardf or runs.<\/p>\n<p>Just when Rao was looking to open up,  he fell to the catch of the day as Morkel leapt to his left and caught  one-handed to present Ashwin his only wicket of the game.<\/p>\n<p>All-rounder  Irfan Pathan scratched around and could never dominate though he helped  Nagar to add 42 runs for the unfinished sixth wicket, but a total of  114 was way below par against the Super Kings renowned for their batting  might.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/cricket\/chennaisuperkings.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Chennai Super Kings defeat Delhi Daredevils\" width=\"250\" style=\"float: left;
