Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR): Play-offs are in full swing in the sixteenth edition of the Indian Premier League tournament. The competition is going on to get a place in the top 4 of the points table. Kolkata Knight Riders, who fought a do-or-die battle against the second-placed Chennai Super Kings, retained their desire to reach the knockout stage with a 6-wicket victory.
Chennai: Kolkata Knight Riders registered a huge victory by 6 wickets against Chennai Super Kings, who are ranked second in the playoffs. The KKR team, which has a small chance of reaching the playoffs, has collected a total of 12 points from the 13 matches it has played so far and has reached the 7th position in the points table. KKR have to win their last match and pray that the result of other matches will be in their favor. On the other hand, CSK is under pressure to win the last game of its side.
Chasing a challenging total of 145 runs for victory in Chepauk, KKR were shocked to lose their openers early on. In-form batsman Venkatesh Iyer was only able to contribute 9 runs. However, captain Nitish Rana (unbeaten 57) and Rinku Singh (54) who joined for the 4th wicket made the road to victory easy by putting on an impressive partnership of 99 runs. KKR scored 147/4 in 18.3 overs to win by 6 wickets. For CSK, Deepak Chahar grabbed 3 wickets for 27.
Rinku-Rana batting brilliantly:
Also, chasing a modest target given by Chennai, the KKR team initially stumbled upon the bowling of Deepak Chahar. Deepak shined by taking 3 consecutive wickets. But then Rinku Singh and captain Nitish Rana brought victory to the team by forming a good partnership. For Kolkata, Jason Roy scored 12 runs, Garbaz scored 1 run, and Venkatesh Iyer scored 9 runs. Rinku Singh who came later scored 54 runs in 43 balls with 3 sixes and 4 boundaries. Nitish Rana, who played the role of captain, scored 57 runs.
Shivam Dubey fights alone:
Now, Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and chose to bat. Dhoni said that he decided to bat a second time because the pitch is slow. Initially, Chennai openers Ruthuraj (17) and Devon Conway played slowly. He gave Chennai Super Kings a good start.
He added 31 runs for the first wicket. Chennai Super Kings lost their wicket and scored 52 runs in the power play. However, Chennai's innings suddenly collapsed after the power play. Ajinkya Rahane (16), Ambati Rayudu (4), Moeen Ali (1) came and went. Chennai could not score runs in the middle overs as Varun Chakraborty and Sunil Narine bowled well.
But Shivam Dubey continued his form. Tackled the spinners competently. He played slowly in the beginning and then became loud. He added 68 runs for the 6th wicket with Jadeja. Shivam Dubey missed his half-century by two runs. He played an important innings of 48 runs off 34 balls for CSK. Dubey hit three sixes and one boundary in the match against KKR.
