Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | CSK 61-5 | Over-10.5- Dube goes, Chennai five down

Run out...oh missed!! That could have been the fifth wicket here had Sunil Narine hit that directly. But as I am typing, here is a direct hit and who better than Sunil Narine to hit it. However, the bat is grounded before the bails are off and Dube is saved 

 

Wicket!! Not anymore though. After two run out saves. Shivam Dube was bigger down and Andre Russell utilised it and bowled him the short ball, almost a bouncer and forced him to pull, which he did and eventually holed out to ..guess who? Sunil Narine at short mid on. Chennai are now five down for 61

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | CSK 57-4 | Over-10- Half the innings done for Chennai

 

Half the overs are done now and the Super Kings have not even crossed the 60 run mark. Ravindra Jadeja, the new captain looks in a lot of trouble here and the pressure is visible on his face. But it is him and Shivam Dube, along with MS Dhoni and Mitchell Santner who have to score in the range of 150-160 to make this competitive.

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | CSK 53-4 | Over-09- Super Kings struggling big time

 

The Chennai Super Kings here are collapsing like a pack of cards as they have lost Robin Uthappa and Ambati Rayudu in back to back overs. While Uthappa was stumped brilliantly by Sheldon Jackson off the bowling of Varun Chakravarthy and Rayudu was a victim of very bad calling by captain Jadeja and himself in the offer of Sunil Narine and now after nine overs, they are struggling big time at 53/4, scoring at not even six runs an over

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | CSK 28-2 | Over-04.1- Gone!! Umesh gets Conway

 

Umesh Yadav has struck once again as this time around, Conway, trying to play it down the leg, managed to hit the ball in the air and it went to Shreyas Iyer at mid-on and CSK have lost their second. Uthappa had been striking it well from the other end and there really was no need for Conway to go that big, but he did and the ball got better of him

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | CSK 28-1 | Over-04- Uthappa goes bang bang

 

Woww!! I mean just woww...what a shot that was, Uthappa goes outside off and pulls this over the wicketkeeper's head straight back for a six. The veteran looks in a great touch here

 

Four!! And now after that six, here is a freebie from Mavi as he bowls it down the leg and Uthappa needed no second invitation to just guide it past short fine leg for a four

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | CSK 14-1 | Over-02.1- First Six of the season

 

Six!! Uthappa won't just stand to watch the ball as he moves down the ground and raises the short of a good length ball from Umesh Yadav towards the deep square leg boundary for a six. This is now the first six of the season as well. So Uthappa has to his name, both the first four and the first six of IPL 2022

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | CSK 8-1 | Over-02- First four of this season

 

That's the first four of the IPL 2022 here as Robin Uthappa the veteran picks it off his hips and plays it past the wicket-keeper towards the fine leg for a four. But overall, only five runs come from the over as Devon Conway took three balls to open his account in the Shivam Mavi over

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | CSK 3-1 | Over-01- Great start for KKR

 

Only three runs from the first over, all of them extras and a prized wicket of Rituraj Gikawad to go with it. This has been a great start for the Knight Riders and Umesh Yadav

 

7:37 PM

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | CSK 2-1 | Over-0.3- Umesh strikes

 

On the third ball of the first over, Umesh Yadav has shown that he can make the ball talk and the sea breeze is helping him make it bark now as he managed to get the edge of Ruturaj Gaikwad's bat and Nitish Rana in the first slip takes good catch and Chennai are one down for just two runs on the board

Live Updates | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022: KKR win toss, chose to bowl

 

Shreyas Iyer, the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss against Ravindra Jadeja of CSK and decided to bowl first at the Wankhede pitch in Mumbai, saying that they can chase down the target with ease later on as it was a belter of a wicket. Only three foreign players are picked by KKR in the form of Sam Billings, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine and it was surprising that they didn't go for Mohammad Nabi or Chamika Karunaratne
