backs away and punches this into the gap at deep cover to bring up the winning runs. Chennai Super Kings consolidate their position at the top. Seventh win in eight games for them. KKR slump to their third straight loss and have a lot of soul-searching to do. They concerns will multiply further as Andre Russell didn't take the field after hobbling off early in the chase.
Quickly hop over to the other tab for more. Kane Williamson is back as Sunrisers Hyderabad opt to bowl against Delhi Capitals, who've won two games on the bounce. Plenty of changes there. Join Saurabh Somani and Ankur Dhawan on ball-by-ball commentary.
That's that from Gnasher and I. Hope you enjoyed it. Plenty coming up post-game. For now, it's goodbye. Cheers
