Flurry of boundaries from Faf du Plessis to shatter Jordan’s plans
Back to back fours from Faf du Plessis to torment Kings XI Punjab bowling. Total failure for Chris Jordan in his approach against CSK who are nearing a much-needed win after batting second. 12 runs from the 17th over, CSK - 168/0
22:55 hrs IST
Watson’s 11th boundary tonight!
Ravi Bishnoi to Watson - FOUR! His eleventh tonight and it’s as beautiful as the previous ten. A drive through extra to ruin Bishnoi’s over-pitched leg-spin... that’s insane from Shane Watson. Pure entertainment.
22:48 hrs IST
Watson ends Harpreet Brar’s spell with a SIX!
SIX! An absolute Watson Wonder. Poor Brar, not a happening outing for him tonight. He bowls in Watson’s arc and gets brutally punished. Ends his spell with the figures of 41/0. It’s definitely CSK’s night and no one can turn it down.
22:45 hrs IST
Another four! Faf does it fabulously
FOUR! Another one comes off du Plessis’ bat - 8th one, to be precise. So nicely hit this one - shorter delivery and a terrific pull between long-on and mid-wicket. These deliveries aren’t going to help Kings XI Punjab tonight.

Cottrell to Shane Watson - SIX!
SIX! That was second one off Watson’s bat. A clean hit from the CSK opener that cleared the boundary with utmost ease. Another delivery in his region and he belts it over square leg. Watson has been on fire tonight. Completely outstanding!
22:35 hrs IST
Big relief to Harpreet Brar!
After getting slammed for boundaries in his previous overs, Brar came back to turn the things right. A tight over bowled by the spinner, giving away just 4 runs off it. The youngster might be feeling a bit relieved after not getting beaten in his third over. CSK - 123/0 after 13 overs.

22:14 hrs IST
Watson haunts Bishnoi with a maximum!
SIX! That shot you need to destroy a leg-spinner’s googly. Shane Watson picks it up correctly and slog sweeps into the top tier of the spectator’s gallery. A monstrous hit from the Aussie.
22:08 hrs IST
4,4,1,4 - An expensive one from Brar
The youngster seems to be struggling against these two giants. He has been ineffective against Warner and du Plessis who have stitched 81 runs for the first wicket so far. 15 runs from the 8th over, CSK - 81/0
22:04 hrs IST
Bishnoi right on the money: 3 consecutive dot balls
A good over from Ravi Bishnoi as he gives away just six runs off his first over. Just one boundary and three dot balls he conceded. Yet to bag a wicket as it is the need of the hour!
21:58 hrs IST
Ravi Bishnoi into attack
KL Rahul bring up one his trusted spinners - Ravi Bishnoi into the attack. The leg-spinner has been impressive with his bowling in the tournament so far. Now the skipper need him to run through the partnership brewing between Watson and du Plessis.

21:53 hrs IST
4,2,4,4,4 - Faf du Plessis wishes Jordan ‘Happy Birthday’
What an over for CSK. 19 overs coming of birthday boy Chris Jordan’s first over. Didn’t go as planned. Jordan tried a few variations to restrict du Plessis but it turned out a failed attempt. Be it straight, mid-on or third-man, the Protea batsman slammed Jordan left, right and centre. CSK - 60/0 in power-play.
21:48 hrs IST
Shami to du Plessis - FOUR!
FOUR! Stylish du Plessis is playing his part perfectly tonight. What a shot this. Well judged and tucked amazingly towards an empty deep mid-wicket. Faf, you beauty. Just keeping the bowlers at bay.
21:45 hrs IST
Brar to Watson - FOUR!
FOUR! ICourageous of Brar to bowl Watson but unfortunate at the same time if he is getting hit for a boundary. An overpitched delivery and Watto launches it straight down the ground for four.
21:41 hrs IST
Harpreet Brar into attack
New man in for KXIP - Harpreet Brar comes in to attack. His first game in IPL 2020. Could turn the game in KXIP with his turns. Let’s see, what the youngster have got to deliver.

Cottrell to Watson - FOUR!
FOUR! The ball fell in Watto’s region and he didn’t shy to clear the fence. A classic Watson stroke, smacking the ball downtown. Tough phase for Cottrell, especially after conceding 9 runs off his first over.
21:35 hrs IST
Shami starts with a 7-run over
Not a good over for Mohammed Shami to start his spell against CSK. 5 runs off his third delivery ruined the taste but he is a match winner. With 3 more overs to go, the speedster can hit hard any moment.
21: 33 hrs IST
Watson off the mark with back-to-back boundaries
Shane Watson hammers Sheldon Cottrell for back to back boundaries off the third and fourth ball of the opening over. The first one went towards the fine leg while the second one went through mid-on. What a start to CSK innings.

21:07 IST
Four, Four - Sarfaraz goes berserk!
This is what Sarfaraz Khan is known for. He is one of the finest hitters of the ball and is showing no mercy to Shardul Thakur. Scooped over the keeper for a boundary and then angled towards the backward point to get the second. That is some mature stuff from the youngster in the final over.
21:04 hrs IST
Dwayne Bravo to Maxwell - FOUR
A boundary in the penultimate can relief KXIP a bit after the dismissal of their skipper KL Rahul. A tennis shot from Maxwell against Bravo’s short and wide delivery. 19 overs gone, KXIP - 166/4

Shardul Thakur on fire, gets Rahul right after Pooran
It’s two on two for Shardul Thakur. Suddenly the game has shifted towards CSK with these back-to-back wickets. Some fine piece of bowling from Shardul Thakur in the 17th over. Pooran was dismissed after Jadeja took a tough catch at deep mid-wicket. Off the next delivery, Rahul edged the ball and Dhoni dived to complete his 100 IPL catches.
20:48 hrs IST
Pooran lauches into stand, 150-up for KXIP
SIX! That was a cracking shot coming off Nicholas Pooran willow. Bravo tried one of his high full toss and Pooran picked it perfectly, belting it over the cow-corner. What a stylish way to bring up 150 for the team.

Rahul goes big again tonight and scores his second fifty in this tournament. What a terrific form he has been carrying this year.The onus of leading KXIP didn’t affect him much, rather boosted his batting abilities that are now troubling the CSK Bowlers.
A tremendous shot by @klrahul11 to get to his FIFTY!

Pooran to Jadeja - Four, SIX!
Finally Jadeja gets beaten by a KXIP batsman tonight. After two back-to-back impressive over, Jadeja faced the wrath of in-form Nicholas Pooran. A boundary through extra cover and then a six over backward square leg certainly dents the bowlers economy rate. 14 overs gone, KXIP - 114/2.
20:27 hrs IST
100-up for Kings XI Punjab
It took 12 overs for KXIP to notch up three figures. They lost two wickets midway but nothing to worry as they have got their skipper - KL Rahul batting out there.
20:24 hrs IST
Jadeja sends Mandeep Singh packing
OUT! Jadeja has been so good with the ball tonight and finally gets a wicket. The off-spinner kept it outside off but Mandeep failed to get through that and ends up getting caught at cover by Ambati Rayudu. Mandeep goes for 27, KXIP 94/2 after 12 ovres
20:21 hrs IST
Mandeep Singh punishes Chawal with Sixes
Two sixes to Chawla in his second over was truly devastating. Madeep Singh, playing his first IPL 2020 game, looks good and getting backed well by his skipper. Both the maximums went over deep mid-wicket, leaving the bowler as well as the fielder completely helpless.
20:17 hrs IST
Another good over from Jadeja
Seems like the fifty from the last game has boosted Jadeja’s confidence which has certainly affected his bowling two. After giving away six runs in his previous, the left-arm spinner finished his second conceding just five of it. Amazing one from Jadeja. KXIP - 71/1 after 10 overs.
20:11 hrs IST
Chawla dents Rahul-Mayank duo, KXIP loose first wicket
OUT! Chawal gets Agarwal and breaks the 61-run partnership. A shorter one from Chawla that tempted Agarwal to hit big. Sam Curran at deep mid-wicket takes an easy catch and CSK get first break-through.
20:08 hrs IST
Spinner deployed - Jadeja into attack
After the pacers turned out to be ineffective, MS Dhoni decides to deploy his spinners. Ravindra Jadeja into attack and bowls a good over to start his spell. He conceded just 6 runs off the over, slowering down KXIP run rate a bit.
20:05 hrs IST
50-up for KXIP
What a blistering start to the innings. KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal have been impressive so far and have dealt with opponent bowlers perfectly. CSK need to get rid of this duo if they want to restrict KXIP within chasable limits.
20:03 hrs IST
Bravo into attack
Dwayne Bravo comes into attack after the end of the power play. KXIP openers were off to a terrific start. 46 runs in power-play and no wicket loss. Let’s see if Bravo can dent this rhythm.

Kedar Jadhav‘s struggle - Worst strike rate since 2018
Since his inclusion in the CSK, Jadhav hasn’t made an impact in IPL, excluding the knock in 2018 vs MI in the season opener. Strike rate of batsman with minimum 200 balls faced since IPL 2018, Jadhav’s strike rate of 99.58 is the lowest.

KXIP missing Maxwell Magic
Maxwell is yet to leave a mark in IPL 2020. In the 4 innings so far, he has struggled to get going as a result we can see massive drop in his Strike rate. But last time he played against CSK in UAE, he scored his best score in IPL- smashing 95 off 43 balls in 2014.

A tough journey for CSK in IPL 2020
MS Dhoni’s CSK has been under the heat of uncertainties, right from the beginning of the season. Amid all ups and down, they entered into the tournament and won their first game. Soon they lost the balance and experienced a massive down-fall. They lost three games on the trot, only to find themselves at the last position on the points table. A lot has been talked about MS Dhoni and his team’s fitness. But one should remember, it’s the only side which can turn around the oddest of situations any moment.

KXIP’s story in IPL 2020 so far
For KXIP, the journey so far has been truly disheartening. 4 matches, three 150-plus scores, 485 runs from openers – KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal (including a centry apiece) – yet they are reeling on the seventh position of the points table. This is nothing but sheer bad luck that has surmounted this team. But it’s never late, though. KXIP posses all the power they need to return on winning ways.

IPL 2020, KXIP vs CSK live score
Hello and welcome to yet another exciting clash at the Indian Premier League 2020. It’s the 18th game of the tournament which will be played between KL Rahul’s Kings XI Punjab and MS Dhoni led Chennai Super Kings. Both the units are usually considered as heavy-weights as they posses some of the finest players of the game. But the irony is they happen to be the 7th and 8th ranked sides, respectively. The one who wins this face-off rises up while the losing side faces a tougher way ahead in the tournament. So, only mantra to be kept in mind – perform or perish.
Palyers to watch out for tonight – KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Ambati Rayudu, Faf du Pessis, DJ Bravo and MS Dhoni.
