Finch tried to flick Jadeja but was stumped by Dhoni. His 45-ball knock was studded with ten boundaries and two sixes.

The right hander got Pune off to a good start and took the side cross 50-mark in just six overs. He reached his half-ton in just 32 deliveries.

With skipper Angelo Mathews ruled out due to the current political scenario, Ross Taylor is leading Pune Warriors.

Pune have brought in Steven Smith and Manisha Pandey in place of Yuvraj Singh and Angelo Matthews.

Chennai, on the other hand, gave Michael Hussey a break and brought in S Anirudha. Albie Morkel also gets to play his first match of the season as he replaced Mohit Sharma.
