In this
happening game, when CSK bowlers have put up a brilliant performance, their fielders
have let their efforts down on four occasions. Former captain MS Dhoni was the first to miss a stumping. 

Here is how the catches were dropped: 

1.6 dropped

Mitchell Santner conceded 2 runs after Brevis hit him in the air. Captain Ravindra Jadeja failed to hang on to a catch. Brevis tried to go for the slog sweep but the ball slowed down and turned away, the top-edge skied towards mid-off, Jadeja ran back from extra cover and was put off by Pretorius coming in from long-off, not sure if he even got a finger to it.

4.1 dropped

Choudhary missed the chance to complete four-fier in the game when Bravo dropped an easy catch that went for a boundary. 

The bowler bowled a back of a length delivery that swung away, batter Tilak Varma has a half-hearted waft and the outside edge went at a nice height to Bravo at slip, he was standing a bit wide and turned to his right, got both hands but did not hang on.

11.6 dropped

This time again it was Jadeja. Santner’s ball spun and took the outer half to Hrithik Shokeen, who had played four dots after a boundary, skied towards point and Jadeja runs across from cover, got both hands but somehow dropped it.

18.4 dropped

Dwaine Pretorius bowled to Jaydev Unadkat for 2 runs. The batter lofted to the deep point and the fielder Shivam Dube has dropped it again, displaying a poor athleticism. The ball
burst through the fingers to hit him on the shoulder over there and allowed
enough time for Unadkat to get a brace.
