Akash Singh to Virat Kohli, OUT! BOWLED'EM! What a huge moment this in the game as Virat Kohli departs in the very first over and Akash Singh is elated. This is bowled on a good length on off and middle and just shaping back into the right-hander. Kohli looks to step out and slog it away but gets an inside edge onto the pads. The ball unfortunately then rolls off the boot and go on to hit the stumps and one of the bails comes off. A dream start here for Chennai.
