Man of the Match, Faf du Plessis: This is probably the most fluent I've felt so far. I felt in the previous game, things began to tick a little better, and this is just another step forward in the right direction. I'm feeling more rhythm, I'm feeling more technically correct so it was good to get some runs when you're feeling like that.

We discussed before the game that the spinners were the real threat, because the ball was just stopping a bit. If you look at this game and a couple of earlier matches, the spinners have been the best bowlers. Even tonight, Jadeja was one of our better bowls. The ball just grips well on the surface. 

Ruturaj is a fantastic young talent, and it's great to see him. Those first couple of balls, you feel a bit on edge and you feel like you have to score. Sometimes you can go a bit too hard. It was beautiful to see him trust his timing and technique though, he's such a sweet timer of the ball. He's really hard to bowl to.

I'm very lucky to have been playing under MS Dhoni for a long time. It's always really good to see him at work, he's cool, calm and collected. 

I felt like it was a good game for the bowlers for a while, you saw that with the new ball Deepak Chahar bowled well. But then there was a bit of dew, and it became a proper batter's game. You see Andre Russell, when he comes into a situation like that, I looked up at the scoreboard and knew that this was made for him. That's when he's the most dangerous, when he's got little to lose. Brilliant batting from him and Cummins!

CSK beat KKR by 18 runs!

That was tense in the end but combination of Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur gets Prasidh Krishna run out to start the final over. Pat Cummins kept the match alive and he remains unbeaten on 66 runs from 34 balls at the end. After five down, it looked like KKR were down and out quickly. Andre Russell, Dinesh Karthik and Pat Cummins kept chipping away but not enough in the end. The damage, with wickets, was already done!

RUN OUT!

Prasidh Krishna is short at the non-striker's end and Shardul Thakur celebrates. KKR needed a second run but Krishna is unable to get back in time

Cummins sends it down the ground and he forces a second. Chakaravarthy was never on for it. He tried to send Cummins back but given the situation, that had to be a double. Easy run out

Kamlesh Nagarkoti walks back for a duck. Sunil Gavaskar is not pleased with the strategy to play the big shot. Expected, rather hoped, Nagarkoti to give the strike back to Cummins. But Nagarkoti goes after the back of length delivery and it carries to Faf du Plessis.

DK is adjudged to be leg before. On-field umpire gives it out but DK decides to review it. A slower one from Ngidi, once again it is well disguise. UltraEdge shows no bat involved. Three reds on the ball tracking and DK has to walk back. That was going on to hit the leg stump.

Russell Show is over! What just happened there? Sam Curran comes screaming in and it is into the leg stump. Andre Russell reckons it is going wide but it clatters into the stump. Curran celebrates and he has every reason to!

Russell b Curran 54

SIX! FIFTY! Jadeja pays for the overstepping. Comes back to bowl the final ball after the players had moved on and Russell attacks and attacks well. It goes well into the stand and that is fifty for Andre Russell. He gets to 54 runs from 21 balls
 

GONE!

Five down for KKR! They're falling like dominoes now. Ngidi gets his first wicket of IPL 2021. Banged in short and Tripathi guides it into the gloves of MS Dhoni. Didn't have the body posture to do anything else it appears

Tripathi c Dhoni b Ngidi 8

GONE!

Two wickets in the over. Ravindra Jadeja catches a well-struck shot from Sunil Narine and Chahar celebrates. Narine cracks the short-ish delivery and Jadeja moves to his right to take it.

What a start for CSK and Deepak Chahar. Shubman Gill doesn't get the elevation on it and that was a very passive shot. Golden duck for GIll as Ngidi takes the catch comfortably.

After 20 overs,Chennai Super Kings 220/3 ( Faf du Plessis 95 , Ravindra Jadeja 6)

Despite having leaked runs left, right and centre, Pat Cummins is given the ball for the final over. First ball is great, it's a dot, but the second is absolutely hammered for six by du Plessis! Pumped over long-off with aplomb! A dot follows, and then du Plessis pulls a bouncer for another six, over square leg!! Excellent batting, he's just one six away from a century. Oh no wait, he's taken a single, and with just one ball left, it doesn't look like he'll get to a hundred. Still, this will live long in the memories of CSK fans! Ravindra Jadeja to play the very last ball, what can he do? Well, he can hit it for a six! It's hit straight to Rana at the midwicket boundary, who fluffs the catch big time and ends up lobbing it over the boundary rope all on his own. The way KKR have fielded tonight, you'd think they have money on CSK winning. Anyway, it's a pretty impressive total of 220/3 from CSK, they've done well to put themselves in prime position to win this match. We'll be back in a bit, as KKR prepare to chase down this daunting total.

OUT! What a catch Eoin Morgan, take a bow! It's hit hard and low, but the Englishman gets down well and holds on to it for dear life. Dhoni's gone! MS Dhoni c Morgan b Russell 17 (8)

OUT! One swing too many from Mooen, and he misses a shot to be stumped by Karthik's lightning-quick hands. Moeen Ali st Karthik b Narine 21 (12)

FIFTY! Du Plessis opens up his body, and sends a boundary racing away wide of off to bring up his fifty!

OUT! Ruturaj Gaikwad looked untouchable out there, but he departs after being caught! Ruturaj Gaikwad c Cummins b Varun 64 (42)

FIFTY! Ruturaj Gaikwad brings up his fourth IPL fifty! What an innings from the youngster!
