IPL 2020: Twitter reacts to Chennai Super Kings’ last-gasp win over Kolkata Knight Riders


Chennai Super Kings (CSK) secured a last-gasp win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League.
Earlier, CSK won the toss and chose to field first. KKR begun briskly as openers Nitish Rana and Shubman Gill notched up their first 50-run partnership. After Gill’s departure, KKR struggled a bit as Sunil Narine and Rinku Singh were dismissed after getting a good start. However, Rana kept going and scored 87 runs off 61 balls. Dinesh Karthik then provided the final flourish to take his side to a score of 172.
In the chase, Shane Watson got out for 14 runs. But Ruturaj Gaikwad who had scored a half-century in CSK’s win over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) scored another half-century. Gaikwad and Ambati Rayudu were involved in a fluent partnership. Following the duo’s departure and that of MS Dhoni, it was left to Ravindra Jadeja to win it for his side. That was exactly what he did as he struck 20 off Lockie Ferguson’s 19th over before sealing it with two sixes in Kamlesh Nagarkoti‘s 20th over.
