KATHMANDU: In a thrilling encounter at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) showcased a dominant all-round performance to conquer the challenge posed by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the ongoing TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.

Opting to bowl first, CSK’s bowlers exhibited exceptional skill to restrict the formidable KKR batting lineup to a modest total of 137 runs.

Despite a strong start from KKR’s Sunil Narine and Angkrish Raghuvanshi, CSK’s Ravindra Jadeja turned the tide with a remarkable spell, claiming crucial wickets and even reaching a milestone of 100 catches in the IPL.

In response, CSK’s batsmen, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad’s brilliant unbeaten 67, chased down the target with ease.

Gaikwad’s exemplary innings, supported by valuable contributions from Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell, guided CSK to a comprehensive seven-wicket victory.

Jadeja’s stellar performance with both bat and ball earned him well-deserved recognition, while CSK’s bowlers, including Tushar Deshpande and Mustafizur Rahman, played pivotal roles in dismantling KKR’s batting lineup.

With this win, CSK maintains its momentum in the IPL 2024 season, while KKR faces its first defeat of the tournament.
