#1 Delayed toss for a bizarre reason 

<p>
The toss had a 15-minute delay

Not often you would see toss being delayed due to unavailability of umpires but owing to prevailing tense situation around Chennai, match organisers forgot to transport umpires and officials to the ground along with players.

Toss finally happened after 15 minutes delay which was won by Chennai Super Kings skipper and electing to bowl first.

Match started on time and everything went as per schedule from then on including home team’s victory which brought smiles to the local fans.
