Player Of The Match
  • 19.6

    OUT! Run Out. Shardul Thakur to Piyush Chawla. Yorker, down leg side on the front foot pushing, missed to wicketkeeper, fielded by Dhoni, by Thakur. A suicidal run out to finish the innings after a pinpoint yorker from Thakur.

    Chris Lynn struck an explosive 82 but couldn't find sufficient support at the other end, so CSK will be the happier of the two teams at the halfway point of this contest. Imran Tahir was fantastic, his 4/27 ripped through the middle order while the catching was perfect from Faf du Plessis in particular. KKR will have to take early wickets to put CSK under pressure in the chase.

  • 19.5

    OUT! Caught. Shardul Thakur to Shubman Gill. Slower ball short, outside off stump on the front foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Jadeja. Thakur is bowling a very tidy final over to finish off an excellent display from CSK in the field. Gill doesn't have the power to clear the boundary and Jadeja makes the catch look easy. KKR are going to end up under par at Eden Gardens.

    CSK have further cemented their spot at the top of the table thanks to a five wicket victory over KKR at Eden Gardens. Suresh Raina held the chase together with an expertly paced half century before Ravindra Jadeja finished the job with a couple of balls to spare. Earlier on, Imran Tahir was sublime with the ball in hand to pick up 4/27 and set up the victory. KKR will reflect that they didn't post enough runs despite an eye-catching 82 from Chris Lynn.
