Chennai Super Kings is hosting Kolkata Knight Riders at Chepauk Stadium amid political tensions and protests. They called it ‘the match of equals’ as both the teams have lifted the IPL trophy multiple times and also won their first match of the season. Chennai Super Kings, led by MS Dhoni, won the toss and opted to bowl first, keeping dewy conditions in mind. KKR got off to a flyer but soon lost both their openers. At a certain point, KKR were reduced to 95 for 5 and they were reeling. That is when Andre Russell joined skipper Dinesh Karthik and they formed a partnership of 67 runs, which was very crucial at that stage. KKR set CSK a target of 203. Russell was the highest scorer, he ended with 88 off 36 balls. His knock comprised of 11 sixes.
