CSK batsmen were too good for KKR to chase the highest total of the season so far, Andre Russell with absolute blitz showed why he was retained for KKR scoring 11 sixes in 36 balls to posting a humongous total when KKR were restricted to 89-5 in 10 overs, his technique and timing spot on. At the half match report, Russel mentioned that his teammate Sunil Narine mentioned that he was moving a lot out his crease in the last match, he suggested to stay still play his shots which did the trick.
It was a special night for batsmen from both sides taking on the opponent, Watson and Billings contributing for CSK scoring in a flash when needed. Watson made an impact scoring 42 off 19 balls hitting cleanly. It looked like KKR did not execute their bowling. The match ended in the last over needing 17 runs off 6 balls, Vinay kumar could’nt control the flow of runs. After the match Dhoni mentioned that it was great to win after 2 years for CSK
