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.
