Chennai Super Kings announced themselves as the batting powerhouse of the IPL in their inaugural match in 2008. Only in the second match of IPL history, CSK scored a mammoth 240 runs.

MS Dhoni elected to bat after winning the toss and his batsmen responded brilliantly. Mr. Cricket, Michael Hussey, scored CSK's first ever IPL ton in that match, while Matthew Hayden, Suresh Raina and Subramaniam Badrinath chipped in with useful contributions. CSK finally ended up at 240 for 5 at the end of their allotted 20 overs.

Facing a daunting target of 241, KXIP got off to a good start. They had crossed the 100-run mark at the end of 10 overs. But unfortunately, they couldn't maintain the momentum and eventually fell short by 33 runs. Michael Hussey was named the man-of-the-match for his stunning knock of 116 runs.
