CSK’s situation was staggered after being shot by KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane, losing six wickets in 14 games, scoring below 75.
The match saw former CSK player Moeen Ali, who almost got his first ball with the wicket and then succeeded in the next game, making an impact. Ali’s end was a wicket, followed by Harshit Rana’s claim that Rachin Ravindra lost his first ball.
After KKR won the roll and selected the bowl, he made a strategic change by bringing Moeen Ali to Spencer Johnson. CSK, on the other hand, replaced the injured Ruturaj Gaikwad with Rahul Tripathi and Anshul Kambhoj, joining Mukesh Choudhary.
