A clinical performance from KKR. Their bowlers set the platform by restricting CSK to just 131 on a good batting wicket. Umesh Yadav led the way with two early wickets.

But then Dhoni and Jadeja got together to provide late surge, stitching a 57-ball unbeaten 70 run stand to help CSK to a respectable total.

Chasing the target, Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer got off to a brisk start. Rahane played well for his 34-ball 44 while the others chipped in with 20s to take KKR past the finish line easily.
