However, a resilient partnership between Sanju Samson and Ayush Mhatre steadied the innings. Samson’s 48 runs off 32 balls, including 4 fours and 3 sixes, anchored the middle order. Mhatre’s explosive 38 off 17 balls, featuring 6 fours and 2 sixes, provided the necessary acceleration. Dewald Brevis continued the momentum with a composed 41 off 29 balls. Contributions from Sarfaraz Khan (23 off 18 balls), Shivam Dube (13 off 12 balls), and Jamie Overton (7<\/em> off 6 balls) propelled CSK to a competitive total of 192\/5 in 20 overs.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi (27 off 19 balls) and Rinku Singh (6 off 12 balls) added brief resistance. Rovman Powell’s unbeaten 31 off 22 balls, along with Ramandeep Singh’s 35 off 23 balls, provided some late fireworks. Despite their efforts, KKR concluded their innings at 160\/7 in 20 overs, falling short by 32 runs.
