CSK vs KKR, Match 61, IPL 2023

MS Dhoni opted to bat on a typically dry Chepauk surface

The very first over of spin produced a wicket for Kolkata Knight Riders as Varun nipped out Ruturaj

Varun kept chipping away at the wickets with a very probing spell

After an extended lean patch, Sunil Narine was back to his mystical best at Chepauk

Shivam Dube was the only CSK batter who got some tempo to his innings

Deepak Chahar's triple strike in the Powerplay gave CSK the perfect start to the second half

Skipper Nitish Rana played a matured hand and used his spin-playing skills to the optimum

Yet again this season Rinku Singh came good in a crisis for KKR

The 99-run stand between Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh all but killed the game
