Earlier, defending champs CSK were off to the worst possible start after Umesh Yadav struck in the first over, removing last season’s Orange Cap holder Ruturaj Gaikwad. Devon Conway and Robin Uthappa also departed in quick succession as half the team was dismissed in 11 overs, leaving MS Dhoni and Jadeja with a tough task in hand.
Umesh Yadav, playing white-ball cricket after a long absence was brilliant in his spell. He returned with 2/20 in his four overs and the two crucial wickets set the tone of the match.
While MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja both struggled initially, it was their 70-run partnership off 56 balls to anchor CSK. In the end, MS Dhoni’s fifty 24th IPL fifty and first in three years helped CSK set 132-run target for KKR.
