9:22pm CSK's lowest total at Chepauk and third lowest in the history of the IPL. Their batting has been a crawl tonight. They never got going. And remember, this despite Vijay getting multiple lives. His 43-run partnership with Tripathi was the best of the CSK innings. And Dube finishes as their top-scored with an unbeaten 29-ball 31. CSK have also used their Impact Player in Hooda, which means they will be without Pathirana with the ball in defence of a low total. Narine and Varun made merry against favourable match-ups to share five between them. How will KKR approach the chase? And will CSK manage to make something of this? Find out shortly with Ashish at the helm.
Harshit Rana: "We had attention on sticking to our plans. We spoke about getting bowlers depending on the pitch, and stuck to it. The pitch was such that it was not easy to hit good length or lengths around the 5-6 metre mark. [Dropped catches] Part and parcel of the game. I'll ask for dinner from Venky and Narine."
SAKharade : "I still get a feeling that this will be a thriller and all credits will go to MSD as the captain. This may please be published at the end of the game if it comes true. (It will, fingers crossed)."
Dube seems to have pulled a muscle/hamstring. The physio is out to check on him with one ball left in the innings

Rahul: "Vijay at No.4, Ash and Jaddu at No.6 and 7. Hooda as a batting impact. Clearly shows CSK has not picked a good team." They look collectively out of touch, and that is the issue. Otherwise, these are the spots guys have found success at in the recent past
