Meanwhile, in the match, selected to bat first, KKR maximized Powerplay, thanks to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Sunil Narin, and Ajinkya Rahane for a quick start, to reach 67/1 in six overs. Despite the slow run-scoring rate in the middle overs due to CSK spinners, late KKR Post 179 was helped by Andre Russell's late flourishing.
The chase of CSK began poorly as he lost five wickets in the powerplay, including debutant Urville Patel, who paired 11-Gund 31. However, Brevis was a star artist with bat.

Ansul Kamboj then sealed the deal with a border on the mid-on, with CSK's first successful chase of 180-Plus since 2020.
