4.3 – Jason Roy is gone! This is a big-big wicket for CSK and Deepak Chahar. The pacer is on fire! This is his third wicket in the game and that puts CSK right on top. KKR are off to a really poor start that too before the introduction of spin.

KKR 22/2 (3)

CSK vs KKR Live: Good bowling

KKR 11/1 (2)

CSK vs KKR Live: Deepak Chahar strikes!

Deepak Chahar has struck on the final ball of the first over of the innings. Rahmanullah Gurbaz departs for the score of 1 off 4 balls after handing a catch to Tushar Deshpande towards deep backward point. Deshpande covered good ground running from the third man region to take the catch.

KKR 4/1 (1)

CSK vs KKR Live: WICKET!

19.4 – Vaibhav Arora has got the wicket of Ravindra Jadeja and it is time for the ‘Thala’ MS Dhoni to come to the crease.

CSK vs KKR Live: Superb over from Shardul Thakur

Shardul Thakur conceded only 5 runs in the penultimate over that too with two set batters – Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja in the crease. Superb bowling from the right-arm pacer. He mixed his pace really well and kept his deliveries away from Dube in the over.

CSK 135/5 (19)

CSK vs KKR Live: SIX!

17.3 – Another six from the bat of Shivam Dube. He is firing on all cylinders now. This is superb batting from the southpaw.

CSK vs KKR Live: FOUR!

15.1 – A boundary comes after a long time for CSK. Shivam Dube hit the boundary towards the short fine leg.

7 runs came off the over of Shardul Thakur. CSK only have four more overs remaining in the game and they must look to cross 150, which would be a good fighting score on this surface. 

CSK 99/5 (16)

CSK vs KKR Live: KKR keep it tight!

Only 11 runs have come off the last three fours. KKR have tightened the noose on CSK. Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja are in the crease and they need to accelerate now. 

CSK 92/5 (15)

CSK vs KKR Live: Narine returns figures of 2 for 15

Sunil Narine has bowled a really economical and impacful spell. He conceded only 15 runs in his four overs and took two wickets to help KKR choke CSK for runs. 

CSK 83/5 (13)

CSK vs KKR Live: WICKET! What a ball from Narine!

This is a terrific delivery from Sunil Narine and Moeen Ali has no answer to it. It was a carrom ball from Narine that was pitched well outside off but went into Moeen, who had put his bat in line of the ball in defence, but the extra turn went through the gate and hit the stumps. This is the second wicket for Narine in his third over. Superb bowling!

CSK 72/5 (11)

CSK vs KKR Live: Sunil Narine strikes!

10.1 – Sunil Narine deserved this wicket. He had bowled really well in the previous two overs but a wicket was missing from his account. In his third over, he gets one of Rayudu. The right-handed batter tried to play a sweep shot but missed the ball that crashed onto the stumps. Rayudu fell for 4 runs. 

CSK vs KKR Live: Conway is out!

9.3 – The pressure of CSK’s poor scoring rate gets better of Devon Conway. It was a short ball from Shardul Thakur and Conway pulled it high in the air. Rinku Singh at square leg took a really good catch to end the knock of Conway.

CSK vs KKR Live: Economical over

Only four runs came off Sunil Narine’s second over and KKR tighten the grip over CSK.

CSK 65/2 (9)

CSK vs KKR Live: WICKET!

Ajinkya Rahane is gone! Varun Chakaravarthy offered flight to Rahane, who decided to hit him for a six, but failed! The CSK batter hit the ball straight into the hands of long-off fielder Jason Roy. Only four runs came off the over and a wicket. It is interesting to note that Chakaravarthy has taken wickets in both of his overs in the game he has bowled so far.  

CSK 61/2 (8)

CSK vs KKR Live: Good review!

7.2 – Varun Chakaravarthy caught Devon Conway plumb in front of the stumps and umpire raised his finger. After some discussion with his fellow batter Ajinkya Rahane, Conway went upstairs only to thank himself later as the ball tracker suggested that it would have gone over the stumps. Conway and CSK take a sigh of relief!

CSK vs KKR Live: Good over from Narine

Sunil Narine conceded only five runs in his first over. He got fair amount of turn which suggests that this surface is going to help spinners really well, as expected!

CSK 57/1 (7)

CSK vs KKR Live: End of powerplay!

CSK lost Gaikwad for a low score but Rahane and Conway made sure they ended the powerplay well. Both Conway and Rahane are looking in really good touch and they must take this partnership forward as CSK look to dominate KKR. 

CSK 52/1 (6)

CSK vs KKR Live: SIX!

Ajinkya Rahane is having a superb IPL season! He is carrying some different kind of batting form in IPL 2023. It was a good length ball from Harshit Rana, but Rahane comfortably hit it on the rise for a six over long-on. 11 runs came off the over.

CSK 48/1 (5)

CSK vs KKR Live: FOUR from Devon Conway!

3.5 – Varun Chakaravarthy bowled it full outside off-stump and Devon Conway drove it away for a four. He is looking in really good touch is Conway.

CSK vs KKR Live: WICKET

3.3 – Here is the first blow for CSK! Varun Chakaravarthy has got the wicket of Rituraj Gaikwad. It was bowled full and Gaikwad wanted to go for a big one. He edged it and Vaibhav Arora took the dolly at short third.
