CSK vs KKR Highlights Dream11 IPL 2020: Chennai Super Kings Beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 6 Wickets in Thriller
Like CSK, Kolkata Knight Riders have also failed to show consistency in IPL 2020 and are yet to string together wins more than two matches. They are on 12 points from as many matches and need a win to stay alive in the tournament and keep their fate on their own hands. Eoin Morganâs side were displaced from fourth after the loss to Kings XI Punjab.
Ravindra Jadeja has sealed a stunning win for Chennai Super Kings. He came to bat with CSK needing 33 from 15 deliveries. But Jadeja first smashed Lockie Ferguson for 20 runs before scoring two consecutive sixes to win the match for Chennai Super Kings.Â
OUT! Pat Cummins has got the big wicket of Ruturaj Gaikwad. Cummins clean-bowls Gaikwad who was looking to play the ball over fine leg. But the delivery was straight and full on stumps and it crushes his stumps. Ruturaj Gaikwad b Cummins 72(53)
OUT! Varun Chakravarthy clean-bowls MS Dhoni. KKR are back in the hunt again. Dhoni goes back with just 1 run from 4 balls. He wasn't picking Chakravarthy and falls prey to Chakravarthy's mystery spin. Dhoni b Chakravarthy 1(4)
OUT! Pat Cummins comes back into the attack and strikes for KKR. He dismisses Ambati Rayudu, who was looking good. Rayudu smashed Cummins for consecutive boundaries but went for a shot too many and finds Sunil Narine at mid-off. Rayudu c Narine b Cummins 38(20)
OUT! Varun Chakravarthy gets the first breakthrough for KKR. Shane Watson, who was struggling to rotate the strike, departs for a 19-ball 14 and CSK lost their first wicket. Chakravarthy bowled another of his variety balls but this was a tad full and Watson looked to play it over mid-on but find Rinku Singh. Watson c Rinku Singh b Chakravarthy 14(19)
End of the powerplay for CSK and they have reached 44 without losing any wicket. Ruturaj Gaikwad has continued his fine form from the last match and scored 26 off 20 balls, which includes a gorgeous six off Varun Chakravarthy in the final over of the powerplay. Watson at the other end has scored 13 from 16 deliveries.Â
Kolkata end their innings on 172/5 with Lungi Ngidi bowling a good last over and conceding only nine runs. Nitish Rana was the star of KKR's innings and scored 87 from 61 deliveries with the help of 10 boundaries and 4 maximums. Dinesh Karthik gave them a late flourish with a 10-ball 21 runs and have helped KKR to a good score.Â
OUT! Eoin Morgan departs and Lungi Ngidi gets his second wicket of the match. The KKR captain was looking for big shot every ball but plays this one straight to Ruturaj Gaikwad at long-on. Morgan c Ruturaj Gaikwad b Ngidi 15(12)
OUT! Nitish Rana goes back after a fine knock. Lungi Ngidi gets his first wicket of the match thanks to a brilliant catch from Sam Curran. Rana tries to big to a full ball but fails to find a proper connection. Sam Curran runs in from long-on and takes a very good catch. Nitish Rana c Sam Curran b Ngidi 87(61)
OUT! Rinku Singh is out trying to score big. He was playing his first game and failed to get a proper connection on that shot. Ambati Rayudu takes an easy catch at square leg. Rinku Singh c Rayudu b Jadeja 11(11)
Nitish Rana takes Mitchell Santner for consecutive boundaries to end the 11th over with 12 runs. Rana has moved on to 46 from 39 deliveries while Rinku Singh at the other end is batting on 6. CSK looked to have pulled back KKR with two quick wickets. But this young pair are trying to score some quick runs and take back the momentum.Â
OUT! Karn Sharma has got a wicket with his second delivery in the match. The leg-spinner removes Shubman Gill after deceiving him. Gill played for the turn and left a big gap between his bat and pad and his stumps were shattered. Shubman Gill b Karn Sharma 26(17)
End of the powerplay overs and KKR have given themselves a good stage to build on. Shubman Gill and Nitish Rana have been quite comfortable with the CSK bowling and have stitched 48 runs in the opening 6 overs. Rana came to life in the final over of the powerplay bowled by Mitchell Santner and took the spinner for 15 runs, which included two fours and a gorgeous six over deep midwicket.Â
Shubman Gill and Nitish Rana have given Kolkata Knight Riders a steady start to their innings after being sent to bat first. The pair have added 28 runs in 4 overs and averted another early collapse for KKR.Â
Chennai Super Kings have brought back Shane Watson and Lungi Ngidi in place of Faf du Plessis and Imran Tahir, who are reportedly injured. Monu Kumar, who made his debut in the last match against RCB, has also been dropped and replaced him with Karn Sharma. KKR, on the other, have brought in an extra batsman for Prasidh Krishna.
