- 20:35 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: WICKET! What a ball from Narine!This is a terrific delivery from Sunil Narine and Moeen Ali has no answer to it. It was a carrom ball from Narine that was pitched well outside off but went into Moeen, who had put his bat in line of the ball in defence, but the extra turn went through the gate and hit the stumps. This is the second wicket for Narine in his third over. Superb bowling!CSK 72/5 (11)
- 20:29 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: Sunil Narine strikes!10.1 - Sunil Narine deserved this wicket. He had bowled really well in the previous two overs but a wicket was missing from his account.

- 20:10 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: Good review!7.2 - Varun Chakaravarthy caught Devon Conway plumb in front of the stumps and umpire raised his finger.

- 20:03 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: End of powerplay!CSK lost Gaikwad for a low score but Rahane and Conway made sure they ended the powerplay well. Both Conway and Rahane are looking in really good touch and they must take this partnership forward as CSK look to dominate KKR.CSK 52/1 (6)
- 19:59 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: SIX!Ajinkya Rahane is having a superb IPL season! He is carrying some different kind of batting form in IPL 2023. It was a good length ball from Harshit Rana, but Rahane comfortably hit it on the rise for a six over long-on. 11 runs came off the over.CSK 48/1 (5)

- 19:16 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: List of substitutes -Chennai Super Kings Subs: Matheesha Pathirana, Nishant Sindhu, Subhranshu Senapati, Shaik Rasheed, Akash SinghKolkata Knight Riders Subs: Venkatesh Iyer, Anukul Roy, N Jagadeesan, Umesh Yadav, Lockie Ferguson
- 19:15 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: Here are the playing XIs -Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni(w/c), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Maheesh TheekshanaKolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): Rahmanullah Gurbaz(w), Jason Roy, Nitish Rana(c), Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Shardul Thakur, Sunil Narine, Vaibhav Arora, Harshit Rana, Suyash Sharma, Varun Chakaravarthy
- 19:08 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: Here is what Nitish Rana said -"Would have liked to bat first as well. The deck looks sticky, so would have wanted to bat first and get our spinners in play. I think pressure was there in the first game as well, it is there now as well. Such is the IPL, we can't take it lightly. If any department falters, then 90% the result goes against you. So we need to be clinical in all departments. One change for us - Anukul Roy goes out, Vaibhav Arora comes in."
- 19:07 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: Here is what MS Dhoni said -"We'll bat first. We've been slightly uncertain about the wicket, and as the tournament has progressed the pitch gets slow. Throughout the years, we have told openers to assess the pitch quickly and find what's a good score. After 6-8 overs we need to revisit our score because the ball loses its shine. I think we have done really well, but fielding is one department where we need to step up. Can improve 5-10%. Same XI for this game."
- 19:06 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: Toss update!Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni has won the toss and opted to bat first against Kolkata Knight Riders.
- 18:48 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: Rana, Iyer in spotlightSkipper Nitish Rana and Venkatesh Iyer have been the better performers in the batting line-up and KKR would be expecting the openers to provide a solid start so that the rest can build on that. However, it is easier said than done with Pathirana expected to have a say in the proceedings with his mix of yorkers and slower ones. Jadeja could be one bowler the opposition batters would be wary of, as he hardly allows them time and is most often accurate.
- 18:41 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: Solid spin attack of KKRKKR will also fancy their chances based on the presence of spinners, who have made an impact. How Varun Chakravarthy and leg-spinner Suyash Sharma bowl on Sunday could well decide the outcome of the match. The experienced Sunil Narine has been off-colour for a major part of the IPL season and will look to make amends.
- 18:31 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: Head-to-headBoth the sides have played 28 matches, Chennai Super Kings have won 18 of them while Kolkata Knight Riders have won 9. One match ended in a no-result. In the first leg of the ongoing season, CSK had defeated KKR by 49 runs.
- 18:23 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: Power-packed bowling line-up of CSKThe bowlers, Matheesha Pathirana in particular, have done the job for the skipper. Tushar Deshpande, albeit expensive, has managed to pick up wickets. The spinners -- Jadeja, Moeen and Maheesh Theekshana -- have been effective in putting the squeeze on opposition batters as the Delhi team found out on Wednesday.
- 18:11 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: CSK's solid batting line-upFor the home team, the opening batters Devon Conway (420 runs) and Ruturaj Gaikwad have been providing solid starts. Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube have been benefitting from the clarity of roles they have been assigned and been vital cogs in the CSK batting line-up. On a slow pitch, which saw the batters struggle, Dube managed a few big hits and he would be eyeing an encore on Sunday. Though Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja and Ambati Rayudu have not had the desired impact, the Super Kings have managed well.
- 17:59 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: Big challenge awaits KKRMahendra Singh Dhoni's team comes into the match with two wins on the bounce and, like always, will be tough to beat at their 'den'. Even a couple of sixes from Dhoni's bat are enough to send the Chepauk crowd into a tizzy and he did that in the previous match against Delhi Capitals, which proved vital.
- 17:48 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: KKR wish to keep outside chance aliveThis is a must-win game for Kolkata Knight Riders, who have 10 points to their credit from 12 games. Even if KKR get 2 points from here and manage to beat Lucknow Super Giants in their next game, they will end at 14 points. In such a case, KKR will hope other results to go their way.
- 17:26 (IST)CSK vs KKR Live: CSK one win away from playoff qualificationFour-time champions Chennai Super Kings will be aiming for a win and strengthening their chances of sealing a play-off berth. The MS Dhoni-led side has 15 points after playing 12 matches in IPL 2023 so far. They are placed at the second spot in the points table and another victory will seal a playoff berth for them.
