Well who am I to question the tactics of @Bazmccullum and @DineshKarthik …. what a fine 10 over block in the back end of that match … fabulous bowling. Never seen @ChennaiIPL squeezed like that before 👏👏👏👏

Great captaincy by @DineshKarthik 👏 The way he used spinners in the second half and also so gutsy to finish Cummins overs so early in the match. Definitely, better plans and even better execution.#KKRvCSK #KKRvsCSK #IPL2020

Most unsuccessful chases for #CSK in an IPL season:

5 in 2013
4* in 2020 (in only 6 matches)
4 in 2019#IPL2020 #KKRvsCSK

KORECHE… LORECHHE… JITECHHE…
As I said before, it won’t be easy to chase down 168 at Abu Dhabi… Huge win this for @KKRiders… This win against the mighty @ChennaiIPL will give enormous confidence to #KKR.#IPL2020 #KKRvsCSK

High time #CSK thought about their “Indian batting composition” in the team, especially the inclusion of #KedarJadhav in the middle order.
