Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 10 runs. Opener Rahul Tripathi was the highest run-scorer for KKR, who won the toss and opted to bat. Tripathi scored 81 runs off 51 deliveries in an innings comprising of eight boundaries and three sixes, registering his fifth half-century in the IPL.

Meanwhile Sunil Narine and Pat Cummins were the second highest run-scorers having scored just 17. Dwayne Bravo took three wickets. Sam Curran, Shardul Thakur and Karn Sharma making the win easy for the team.

During the chase, opener Shane Watson was the top-performer with the bat for CSK, scoring his second consecutive half-century in the ongoing edition. However, his dismissal triggered a flurry of quick wickets, on a day when the reliable Faf du Plessis walked back early to the pavillion.

KKR spinners Narine and Varun Chakravarthy helped choke the flow of runs, with the latter accounting for the major dismissal of MS Dhoni. Andre Russell further dismissed Sam Curran when it mattered the most.
