Chennai Super Kings scored 192/3 in their 20 overs. A big night and big runs on the board. And Chennai have needed just four of their batsmen. Also Kolkata’s bowlers have bowled a little too many Sharjah-length deliveries here, only to find them getting carted around. But if history is a thing, they did exactly this in 2012 and 2014. They’ve done the tried and tested thing. Okay, this was Faf‘s innings all through. He started off with a life on 2 with DK fumbling a pretty straightforward stumping chance went onto laying a platform with Gaikwad upped the ante and finished big and rather politely didn’t snatch the orange cap from his partner either. Too kind. Anyway the real impetus here came via Uthappa‘s 15-ball 31, which Moeen then did well to carry on till the finish. Apart from that one stage just after the powerplay where KKR’s spinners actually looked a bit threatening, there’s been really nothing in this pitch for the bowlers. Faf du Plessis scored 86 of 59 balls and Moeen Ali scored 37* of 20 balls. For KKR Sunil Narine pick 2 wickets for 26 runs in his 4 overs quota.
INNINGS BREAK!
8⃣6⃣ for @faf1307
3⃣7⃣* for Moeen Ali
3⃣2⃣ for @Ruutu1331

Kolkata Knight Riders unable to chase the target and scored only 165/9 in their 20 overs and lost the final by 27 runs. Celebrations in the CSK camp. Nothing really big, just the customary hugs and handshakes. And there you see a satisfactory smile on MS Dhoni. A smile that says mission completed. Celebrations start in the city of Chennai. Dhoni waves to the fans as he climbs to the dressing room. The players’s families are so happy in the stands. It’s a tough pill to swallow for KKR and Baz McCullum, but surely, they can keep their heads high. Things could have been different had Tripathi come out fully fit at No.3. Things surely would have been different had Morgan not given Ferguson the fourth over. This definitely would have been better had the batters paced the chase better under pressure. This is were CSK stood out. They never panicked at KKR’s flying start. They backed their skills and stayed in the moment looking for an opening and once that opening came, who better than MS Dhoni to lead them to rip open the door. Shubman Gill scored 51 of 43 balls and Venkatesh Iyer scored 50 of 32 balls. For CSK Shardul Thakur pick 3 wickets for 38 runs in his 4 overs.
Fantastic FOUR! 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆

A round of applause for @KKRiders, who are the runners-up of the season. 👍 👍
