Invited to bat, CSK rode on Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s unbeaten fifty and contributions from skipper Ravindra Jadeja (26 not out) and Robin Uthappa (28) to manage a modest 131 for 5. Dhoni, playing for the primary time after 12 seasons without wearing the captain’s armband, slammed seven fours and a six in his 38-ball innings.
In reply, KKR overhauled the target, scoring 133 for 4 in 18.3 overs. For KKR, Umesh Yadav snapped two wickets, whereas Varun Chakravarthy (1/23) and Andre Russell (1/38) also stored issues in the test as CSK discovered the going tough on the Wankhede stadium. Dwayne Bravo was probably the most successful bowler for CSK, snapping 3 for 20 in his quota of 4 overs. Mitchell Santner (1/31) took one.
