IPL 2022, CSK vs KKR, Live Updates: KKR WIN!
It's all over. KKR beat CSK by 6 wickets in the IPL 2022 opener. Comfortable win for KKR in the end after Dwayne Bravo had pegged back CSK with those dismissals.
IPL 2022, CSK vs KKR, Live Updates: BILLINGS GOES LONG!
Gone all the way! Down the track and muscled over midwicket for six. Darted into the stumps, Billings charges out of the crease and holds nothing back.
Much needed boundary for KKR. Good shot from Billings. Smart batting from him. Flighted short ball, pitched straight, Billings cracks it away through the leg side.
Bravo strikes again. Rana flaps it to Rayudu at short fine leg. Dug in short, chest-high short ball, cramps Rana on the pull. He can't control it and finds Rayudu
IPL 2022, CSK vs KKR, Live Updates: EDGED AND GONE!
Edged and taken. DJ Bravo breaks into a celebratory jig. Much fuller but Bravo hides it away from Venkatesh's swinging arc. Venkatesh slashes and knick Dhoni
Rahane sends this into the first tier beyond square leg. Short and angling into the body, from over the wicket, Rahane gets into a strong position, controls the pull and sends the ball soaring over the boudnary. Expensive over.
Overpitched and outside off from Deshpande. Rahane showcases his class, leans into it and caresses a drive between cover and mid-off. Finds the boundary with conviction.
MS Dhoni reaches his fifty and then Jadeja hits a six to take CSK past the 130-run mark. Excellent effort from these two. KKR, however, will fancy them to chase this down comfortably.
Flies off the top-edge for six! Dhoni has a swung at this mighty high full toss that slips off Mavi's hands, flies into the stands at fine leg. Mavi has overstepped too. Dhoni will try to have another go at him.
IPL 2022, CSK vs KKR, Live Updates: FINDS THE BOUNDARY!
Tries the yorker but misses it completely. Dhoni uses his feet and wrists to perfection. He shovels this over cover for a boundary. Much needed runs for CSK. This is poor bowling from Mavi.
Dhoni uses his wrist and pace on the ball to find the boundary. That's some magical wrist work! Good over so far for CSK. 120 plus from here will be a bonus for CSK.
Pushed wide of mid-off, and unfortunately for KKR it'll be a boundary because as Chakaravarthy missed it completely. Very poor effort. First boundary in 49 deliveries. CSK needed more boundaries.
Shortish on off, he makes room to slap it to deep point. Not looking for CSK at the moment. Even 120 from here looks difficult. Need some fireworks from Dhoni and Jadeja desperately.
Russell bowls a heavy ball, Dube tries to pull it but gets it high off the bat and Narine takes an easy catch at midwicket. CSK five down now. KKR are loving this at the moment.
Umesh strikes again. Conway was looking very itchy to go for the big hits. Tried to step out and go over the top but this one lobbed off a thickish inside edge, an absolute dolly to mid-on.
That's all about the timing. Uthappa is flying. Flicked over deep midwicket for six! Cracking hit from the veteran. Shuffles across and picks this leg-side length ball angling down.
First boundary of the match and it comes from the bat of Robin Uthappa. Short of length and nipping back into middle and leg, he had the angle to work it neatly off his hip
Starts with a zippy back of length delivery that thuds into Gaikwad's thigh pad as he hops back to defend. Unfortunately, he has overstepped. Free-hit for CSK.
