Some tight bowling by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bowlers backed up by excellent fielding and some reckless batting by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) middle order, resulted a frustrating loss for the visitors, by a narrow margin of two runs at Chennai.

KKR had a poor start of their run chase as skipper Gambhir got out for a golden duck in the very first over of the innings. Earlier in the first half of the game, a disciplined KKR bowling unit made an excellent comeback after reckless first five overs and restricted a strong CSK batting line up to a just 134 after Gambhir won the toss and invited MS Dhoni’s men to bat first.
