KKR set 173 runs target for CSK

A fluent start by Gill, featuring Rana, but as soon as the former departed, the young southpaw took over and launched an assault. 

He didn't receive the best support from Narine and Rinku, but Rana laid into Karn Sharma in the 16th over. Karthik and Morgan later added the required runs - 66 runs off the final 5. 

As for CSK, their bowlers executed variations well, but the spinners - with the exception of Jadeja - were below par.

Rahul Tripathi, the right-handed bat, comes to the crease.

Nitish Rana's innings comes to an end

Nitish Rana caught by Sam Curran and it is a spiffing catch. The bat swung, attempting to launch this over long-on, but this time the ball skies and Curran runs in, settles himself under it.

The third wicket, Rinku Singh departs for 11

Rinku Singh gets too low to have a swat at this sweep to deep square leg. He only ends up with a top-edge that is skied towards fine leg where Rayudu holds onto this. 

Eoin Morgan, the left-handed bat, comes to the crease.

Sunil Narine's innings comes to a halt

A slow and full ball by Santner, knowing Narine will go for the big hits, the batsman backed himself to clear the big boundary but is mistimed and he slogs it straight into the hands of Jadeja at deep mid-wicket.

Rinku Singh, the left-handed bat, comes to the crease.

Shubman Gill BOWLED
