KKR vs CSK Live Stream Free. Welcome to ESPNcricinfo's Rolling Report of the 21st IPL 2020 match, between the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Chennai Super Kings, in Abu Dhabi. Get ready for the likes of Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and Dinesh Karthik taking on the likes of MS Dhoni, Shane Watson and Ravindra Jadeja. You can also follow ball-by-ball commentary of the game here.Probably not a unique thought there from Ben Stokes, but it seems to be a good day for both Tripathi and Narine so far, eh? Look how they've made it work out nicely for everyone involved! Tripathi, by the way, has three fifties in his last four innings as an IPL opener.

Truth is, there isn't enough pace in this CSK line-up to trouble Narine a great deal and having him throw his hands at Karn might be a decent option to keep the scoring rate from falling because wherever he bats, I don't think they mind if he gets out.Well, for one, it was their fastest opening stand of the season so far. Apart from being the highest by one run. They still don't have a wicketless powerplay this season because of Gill's dismissal in the fifth over, but in some ways they have already done marginally better by shifting Tripathi up. Nothing to write home about, though, because Gill's struggle meant they inadvertently simulated the previous pair.

But going purely by individual replacements - this has been a good show from Tripathi so far. 52 for 1 is their second-best powerplay this season.They never do that. Well, not since May 2015 anyway. The last time was when Gautam Gambhir was still captain and Delhi were still the Daredevils.


This season too, they’d bowled on both occasions after winning the toss. Perhaps when you have batsmen like Andre Russell, Eoin Morgan and Dinesh Karthik who has been a decent finisher himself, it is a tempting option to chase - especially considering they’re not packing their bowling with seven frontline options, which can restrict teams in the first innings.
