This is the beauty of IPL. CSK may have been at the top of the table but a cracker of a match was always expected. KKR was expected to give some tough competition to the table toppers and boy did they do it in style.
CSK lost by 6 wickets courtesy an ordinary batting and bowling performance. Despite Dhoni’s 43-run explosive knock, KKR always looked ahead of the game. U-19 star Shubman Gill caught all eyes with a breezy fifty.
Although CSK lost the match, there was some sportsmanship on show on twitter as fans appreciated the knock with open hearts. Here is an interesting collection:

2 Catches Dropped In 2 Balls By Sir Jadeja. Don’t Blame Me. It’s Really Difficult To Focus On The Ball And Twitter At The Same Time. 🙄 #KKRvCSK #KKRvsCSK

The Best Thing About Not Playing #IPL Is You Don’t Have To Bowl Against MS Dhoni. 🙏 #KKRvCSK #KKRvsCSK #Dhoni

I will be seeing a lot of Shubman Gill in the years ahead. And I will enjoy what I will see. Special.

Shubman Gill gets to bat in the top order for the first time this season and he delivers with a match-winning fifty.
He was sent in at No.7 four times and No. 6 once before getting to bat at No. 4 today. #KKRvCSK
