KKR put on an absolutely dominant performance with the ball and had CSK in trouble most of the innings. The hosts lost their first five wickets by the 11th over itself on the score of 72. It was Shivam Dube’s unbeaten knock of 48 runs that helped them recover and put a fighting total on the board.
MS Dhoni only got to face three balls in the innings and one of them was a no-ball. However, the legendary batter couldn’t do much as Vaibhav Arora only gave away 9 runs in the final over and even managed to keep Dhoni silent.
