Maxwell and du Plessis batting set up
KKR’s bowlers struggled to contain the Super Kings’ batsmen, with Conway in particular superb at picking lengths and hitting them square on both sides. Suyash Sharma’s first over showcased all the elements that make for compelling viewing when a legspinner is on, with drift, flight, rip, and turn on display. KKR lost two wickets inside the first three overs of their chase and merely played catch up for much of it, eventually stumbling to their fourth successive loss.
Despite the early loss of Narine and N Jagadeesan, Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana swung hard and connected from time to time. Jason Roy came and was in the attacking mood to hit the ball down, going 6, 6, 6 off his second, third, and fourth balls – all off Moeen Ali. Roy raced away to a 19-ball half-century, but was eventually out to a full delivery that dipped and slid underneath his powerful swing. KKR’s win percentage was so less.
Theekshana’s Sri Lanka team-mate Matheeshan Pathirana sent back Andre Russell, and Rinku Singh did his best to make a half-century of his own, but it wasn’t enough. The Super Kings came out on top, with Rahane and Dube having fun and making the bowling attack look pedestrian.
Final Score
Chennai Super Kings 235 for 4
Kolkata Knight Riders 186 for 8
