KKR Win By 10 Runs!! What an emphatic comeback this has been from the Kolkata Knight Riders. Spin twins Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy bowled sensatinally in the death overs as CSK batsmen couldn't find boundaries despite having wicket in hand. MS Dhoni's troop have now lost four of their first six games and they need to rework on their strategies to stay in the playoff race. On the other hand, Dinesh Karthik and Co advance to the third position in the team standings.

OUT! MS Dhoni is the latest man to go back to the pavilion as KKR are dramatically back in the contest. The CSK skipper says enough is enough as he goes for a big shot but completely misses the ball and timber gets disturbed. Varun Chakravarthy gets the big fish and he's delighted. Dhoni b Chakravarthy 11(12)

OUT! Another one bites the dust and its the big fish this time. Shane Watson departs and KKR are right back in the contest. Sunil Narine gets his first wicket of the night. It was a straight delivery from the mysterious off-spinner which bamboozled Watson's deference and the veteran was judged out LBW. Though the Australian star challenged the decision,  the review showed that the ball was clearly hitting the timber. Third man down for CSK. Watson lbw b Narine 50(40)

OUT! A wicket falls against the run of play as Ambati Rayudu goes back to the pavilion. Kamlesh Nagarkoti gets his first wicket of the night and he's delighted. The veteran batsman went for a big shot but miscued it completely and Shubman Gill took an easy catch at the long-on boundary.  Is there a twist in the tale.

Shane Watson is back in form and how! the Australian star attacked the bowlers after assessing the conditions well as CSK are well placed on the driver's seat. The Men in Yellow need just 78 runs from the last 10 overs and that too with nine wickets in need. KKR certainly to do some magic with the ball or it will be a cakewalk for Chennai.

07 Oct, 22:17 (IST)

Despite the early departure of Faf du Plessis, CSK are off to a steady start. Ambati Rayudu joins Shane Watson at the crease as the scoring rate is nine. The Men in Yellow must be happy with the start while KKR badly need another breakthrough.

07 Oct, 22:03 (IST)

OUT! Some relief in the KKR camp as Shivam Mavi dismisses the dangerous Faf du Plessis. The Proteas star, who had already gathered three boundaries, went for another big shot against a short delivery but could only manage to edge it and skipper Dinesh Karthik takes an easy catch behind the stumps. The wicket-keepers have been busy tonight. Du Plessis c Karthik b Shivam Mavi 17(10)

Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis extend their sensational run as CSK are off to a flying start. Watson has been troubled on occasion but the South African star has completely ruthless, collecting three boundaries. KKR badly need a wicket.

07 Oct, 21:41 (IST)

The players are back in the middle as CSK's chase begins. In-form openers Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis are the two openers for Chennai while Pat Cummins will start the proceedings with the ball.

Dwayne Bravo has certainly made his 37th birthday special. The Caribbean star put up an exhibition of death bowling as KKR lost wickets in a cluster. As a result, they were bundled out for mere 167 runs despite getting off to a great start by Rahul Tripathi. Not to forget, that sensational diving catch by MS Dhoni. Age is certainly just a number for this guy. Neverthless,  168 is certainly not a mediocre total and CSK need to put an substantial show to get the target. Do join us back in the second half of the game.

KKR vs CSK Live Score Updates: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will like to extend their winning run in Dream11 Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 as they take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. After losing three matches on the trot, MS Dhoni’s troop made a scintillating comeback against Kings XI Punjab and registered an emphatic 10-wicket triumph. On the other hand, Kolkata are coming off an 18-run defeat against current table-toppers Delhi Capitals and will like to get back to the winning ways. Meanwhile, fans must stay tuned for the live scorecard and updates of the KKR vs CSK encounter. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings, Abu Dhabi Weather, Rain Forecast and Pitch Report.

Keeping the last game against DC aside, Dinesh Karthik and Co have put up a pretty decent show in the tournament. Youngsters like Shubman Gill, Shivam Mavi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti rose to the challenges and impressed one and all. Among the veterans, Eoin Morgan and Pat Cummins have also done well. However, the dismal show of Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and skipper Dinesh Karthik has cost the side two games. Also, Karthik’s captaincy hasn’t been impressive either, and the veteran wicket-keeper batsman will be raring to redeem himself. IPL 2020 Points Table Updated.

Speaking of CSK, their performance in the last game must be enhanced the morale of the team. Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis were sensational against Punjab. However, they shouldn’t forget their middle-order issues. Ambati Rayudu, Kedar Jadhav and skipper MS Dhoni have to leave a mark to take their side forward.

With CSK coming fresh from a clinical win, they might take the field as favourites. However, they indeed need to put their best forward to get the better of the strong KKR side. Also, the Abu Dhabi track has been assisting the spinners which make the bowlers’ role even more significant.
