CSK Win By Seven Wickets | CSK vs KKR Highlights of IPL 2024: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja Help Hosts Get Back to Winning Ways

That's It! Ruturaj Gaikwad makes sure to get the job done despite of the presence of MS Dhoni at the non-striker's end. A clinical performance from CSK as they get back to winning ways. Started by the bowlers who restricted the opposition to a low total and then the batting led by Ruturaj made sure they get over the winning line by seven wickets. 

Kolkata Knight Riders spinner Sunil Narine cleaned up Chennai Super Kings batsman Daryl Mitchell for 25 runs from 19 balls. CSK are 97/2 after the end of 12.3 overs. 

Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad completed his half-century in 45 balls, which was also his first fifty of the Indian Premier League 2024. 

Chennai Super Kings have scored 89 runs for the loss of 1 wicket after 11 overs. CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad is nearing his half-century as the hosts need 49 runs from the last 9 overs. 

CSK have secured what can be called a good start on this kind of surface as they had a steady start with one wicket lost only. They have had an headstart and would back themselves to complete the chase here .

Out! After an expensive over from Mitchell Starc, KKR draw first blood. Rachin Ravindra tries to go over long on and mistimes to get holed in the deep. KKR have to chip in with regular wickets if they have to have any chance. 

The only positive for KKR in the entire innings has been the powerplay where they scored 56 runs off one wicket. As the ball got softer, it got more and more difficult to play a stroke and the end overs have been a real struggle for the visitors. Tushar Deshpande, Mustafizur Rahman, Maheesh Theekshana everyone has been spot on with their bowling as they restrict KKR to a low total. Dew has already set in and CSK will back themselves to chase the total. 

Out! CSK's plan for Andre Russell works out well. The slower one from Tushar Deshpande grips and Andre Russell couldn't connect clean. Gets caught at the long on boundary. KKR are struggling hard here. Anukul Roy comes in as impact sub. 

Out! Even Rinku Singh can't get away the ball on this surface. Tushar Deshpande uses the change of pace smartly and the ball grips enough to take the inside edge of Rinku's bat and crash on the stumps. KKR are in deep trouble now as their innings is going nowhere. CSK intensifies pressure. 

Out! Maheesh Theekshana breaches the gates of Ramandeep Singh. Ramandeep hits him out of the ground on the previous ball but he returns strong by bamboozling him with a carrom ball. KKR can't get away the spin stranglehold of CSK. 

Out! Venkatesh Iyer holes out in the deep and Ravindra Jadeja is wrecking havoc here. Bangs one short, the ball doesn't rise enough to the bat and Venkatesh Iyer mistimes one straight in the hands of deep mid wicket. KKR are in trouble now as they have lost three wickets in span of 8 runs. 

Out! Sunil Narine was struggling with his shoulder injury. Tries to go hard over covers to Ravindra Jadeja and gets caught in the deep. CSK have strongly clawed their way into the game and will look to squeeze a few overs here. 

Out! Ravindra Jadeja comes into attack in the next over of the powerplay and picks up the crucial wicket of Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Raghuvanshi goes for an expansive reverse sweep but fails to get any connectio. Gets trapped in front of the wicket. CSK continue their search for wickets. 

CSK bowlers have secured an early wicket and they look to hold the KKR batters from cutting loose early. Tushar Deshpande and Mustafizur Rahman have been consistent and tight with their lines and look to give CSK steady start. 

Out! KKR receives a blow first ball. Salt goes hard at a ball from Tushar Deshpande just outside off and the ball flew to the hands of Ravindra Jadeja at point who made no mistake. Solid start for CSK.
