Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bowlers managed to dry up the races in the second half of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) chase to record a 10-run win over last season’s runners-up in an Indian Premier match League (IPL) on Wednesday. Rahul Tripathi was the star of the KKR when he played a crucial 81 shot to help his team set a 168-run goal for CSK. For his heroism with the bat, Rahul Tripathi was voted Man of the Match. As the Maharashtra starter came up to collect his award, Kolkata-based franchise co-owner Shah Rukh Khan shouted his iconic dialogue ‘Rahul naam to suna hoga’ from the stands as Rahul Tripathi laughed.

With a new starting combination of Rahul Tripathi and Shubman Gill, KKR got off to a good start.
The duo ran 37 runs before Shardul Thakur returned Gill. Eoin Morgan, Andre Russell missed the bat, but the late blooming of Pat Cummins and Dinesh Karthik ensured KKR put a competitive total on the board.
Dwayne Bravo was the CSK bowler’s choice as he finished with figures of three for 37.

In response, CSK lost to Faf du Plessis in form in the fourth over, but Ambati Rayudu and Shane Watson had 69 runs for the second wicket.
CSK, at one point, was advancing in the chase to 90-fold after 10 overs, but an overly cautious approach in the middle caused the MS Dhoni-led team to stay 10 runs short of the target and stumble to their fourth loss. this season.
