IPL 2021, Live Cricket Score, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK): Andre Russell to bowl the penultimate over, and it begins with a dot, before Faf du Plessis unleashes three fours, back-to-back-to-back! It's been a real heroic stint from the South African out there, and he looks determined to single-handedly drag Chennai Super Kings to the highest-possible total. The last four had more to do with Shubman Gill's inept fielding though, he lets it go straight through his hands. Russell also helps out the CSK cause with a couple of wides, but he does get a wicket on the final ball, as Dhoni departs thanks to a spectacular Eoin Morgan catch.
Preview: Kolkata Knight Riders face Chennai Super Kings in the second match of Wednesday's double-header at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Chennai Super Kings, led by MS Dhoni, are currently third in the league table, having won two of their three matches, while the Eoin Morgan led Kolkata Knight Riders side is in fifth, having won only one of three matches.
CSK's last match came against Rajasthan Royals, where some excellent performances from the likes of Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja helped them win by a sizeable total of 45 runs. KKR, on the other hand, were on the receiving end of a heavy defeat in their last match, losing by 38 runs to Royal Challengers Bangalore in a match where RCB's Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers were the standout performers.
