After asked to bat first by Eoin Morgan, CSK's openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis looked in outstanding form with the bat as both the batsmen went straightaway on the bowlers.

Ruturaj Gaikwad who was criticised for his poor strike rate has done the job for his side. He scored 64 off 42 balls including six boundaries and four sixes to his name. Moeen Ali played a quick-fire inning and scored 25 off just 12 balls with the help of 2 fours and 2 sixes.

The skipper of the side, Ms Dhoni also did the same by smashing 17 runs from eight balls. Besides, Sam Curran has been the game-changer for Chennai Super Kings in the second half of the game.

Following the total, CSK bowler Deepak Chahar once again registered the four wicket-haul figure for the second time in IPL 2021. He went through the top-order of KKR and removed Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan and Sunil Narine for single-digit scores.

However, the powerhouse of KKR line-up Andre Russell came like a tornado and took charge of the opposition bowlers all over the ground. He registered the second-fastest fifty in the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League.

Pat Cummins took the charge in place of Andre Russell and scored 30 runs off Sam Curran's third over. With that, he kept the hopes alive for KKR fans and took the game till the final over of the game.
