CSK managed to pull off their third successive win on Wednesday as they outclassed KKR by 18 runs in a nail-biting encounter.  Defending a mammoth score of 220, the Super Kings’s bowlers came out all guns blazing as they bowled out KKR for 202 in 20 overs and hand the two-time champions their third defeat in a row. However, the incident involving Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Rana gained a lot of limelight on Social media.

Deepak Chahar was at his ferocious best with the ball for CSK, he bowled a brilliant spell of 4 for 29 from his 4 overs while Lungi Ngidi, playing his first match of the season came as a replacement of Dwayne Bravo, managed to scalp 3 wickets to round off an all-round performance by MS Dhoni’s team.

Karthik and Russell made a solid partnership of 81 off 39 balls for the 6th-wicket to reignite the team’s hopes. Karthik then took charge of the chase with Pat Cummins as they managed to add 34 for the 7th-wicket but the target was just too big for them to chase down. However, Cummins then batter like he had nothing to lose as he smashed 30 off the 16th over, bowled by Sam Curran to keep KKR’s hopes alive. But Cummins eventually ran out of partners and ended up with a valiant unbeaten knock of 34-ball 66.

Earlier in the game, CSK managed to post the second-highest total of this season as they reached the tally of 220 for 3 in 20 overs after being asked to bat first. CSK got a dream start from their openers, Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad, who added 115 runs before the latter got out for 64. Du Plessis then took a back seat for a while as Moeen Ali (25) and MS Dhoni (17) played small cameos before launching an all-out attack in the lost three overs as he ended up scoring 95 not out off 60 balls.
