KKR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2023: Match Summary

 

It was yet another victory for the Chennai Super Kings as they moved to the top of the table of the Indian Premier League 2023. They beat the Kolkata Knight Riders by 49 runs. It was always going to be difficult for the Knight Riders to chase down the biggest score ever scored at the Eden Gardens. 

 

Chasing 236, Kolkata were down to 76/4 in the first 10 overs. However, they fought back with fifties from Jason Roy and Rinku Singh but could only go as far as 186/8. Earlier in the evening after being asked to bat first, CSK were boosted by fifties from Ajinkya Rahane (71*), Shivam Dube (50) and Devon Conway (56) to reach the highest ever total made at the venue.

KKR vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2023: Fifty for Rinku, Chennai win by 49 runs

 

Rinku Singh has been unable to get bat on ball in the first two balls of the last over. He is batting on 47 off 28 balls and would like to get a fifty, even if it is in a losing cause. 

 

He has hit this one miles in the air, but not very far. No, it is far enough and it is a six and it would be fifty number two for Rinku this season. 

 

So it would be just 6 runs from the last over and even after the fifty from Rinku Singh, Chennai Super Kings won by a huge margin of 49 runs.
