LIVE CSK vs KKR IPL 2023: This is it!
KKR's run-chase has been exceptional, with Rinku Singh and Nitish Rana dominating CSK's spinners in a manner rarely seen at Chepauk, despite arguments that CSK's total was below par. The duo's performance speaks volumes of their quality. Although Dhoni mentioned in his post-match interview that dew played a crucial role, it was their brilliant batting that helped them achieve the highest fourth-wicket partnership at Chepauk in IPL history, after coming together at 33/3 with the team in trouble. The visitors' chase didn't start smoothly as Deepak Chahar's three-fer early on rocked them. Chahar's variations and smart field placements led to the dismissals of Gurbaz, Venky Iyer, and Jason Roy. The team was struggling at 46/3 after the powerplay, and with potentially 12 overs of spin to follow on a sluggish pitch, the outlook appeared bleak. However, Rinku's positive start and Rana's ability to turn things around after spending some time in the middle made it seem effortless out there.

He arrived at the crease when his team was struggling at 33/3 and went on to score 54 runs off 43 deliveries, including 4 boundaries and 3 sixes. The run-out might have been an unfortunate way to end his innings, but his contribution will be remembered.
