Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings Commentary

6:18 PM IST Right then, yet another fascinating contest in the 2025 IPL comes to an enthralling end. With just a handful of games remaining in the league stage, we will start to see a couple of more teams bow out and a couple of them seal a top-four berth. Next up, it is another crunch clash between two teams that are in the top 5 currently, as Punjab Kings welcome Delhi Capitals at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. That game will be played on Thursday, 8 May at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but you can tune in a lot sooner to our build-up. Cheers!
6:14 PM IST MS Dhoni, the captain of CSK, is down for a chat. He says these newly signed players are currently part of the team right now and they have the opportunity to test them. He says they want to see the approach and the mindset of the batters in the middle of a game. He feels it’s not about just being technically correct batter, but it’s more about being aware of the bowler's game plan and things like that. Adds that the game plan today was simple to play out their spinners as the required run rate was not too high, and thanks to Brevis, they had the luxury to bat out some overs. And he also feels given this venue has small boundary dimensions, it’s not that hard to clear it. He says Dube did a good job as he got 3-4 hits and it was also important for me to understand that he was the last designated batter, so he didn’t want to play any rash shots. Also mentions that he appreciates the love and affection he has received over the period of his career and he mentions it’s important to understand he is 43 now and he has played for a long time. He ends by saying that he will see if his body can see itself through and if he can return next year
6:10 PM IST Noor Ahmad is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his four-fer! Noor says it was a super win and is really happy with his own bowling and also applauds Brevis for the way he played. Adds that he never had his focus on being the top wicket-taker and just wanted to contribute to the team. On his favorite wicket this evening, he says that the nick from Raghuvanshi was his favorite. Ends by saying that he just tries to keep his length correct at all times.
6:01 PM IST The Presentation ceremony...
5:58 PM IST Dewald Brevis, CSK's half-centurion, is down for a chat. He says he is grateful as he used his opportunity well. He says it was an interesting innings, as a few wickets fell quickly. He says, given the conditions, they had to adjust accordingly and go along. He adds it is important to play out the good balls and target the bad ones. He mentions it's important to keep enjoying it and to keep playing the way I am playing and it’s about being true to yourself. He says the more he plays, the more he will figure his way out. He says the fans are incredible, the Cricket is great, it’s high level. He says sitting at home made him very hungry and he trusted in god’s plan and the process and he is grateful to have been able to contribute to a win.
5:57 PM IST The captain of KKR, Ajinkya Rahane, admits it is tough to be on the losing side. He feels they fall 10–15 runs short and that a total around 185–190 would have been ideal on this surface. Rahane points out that in this format, one big over can shift the momentum, and credits Dewald Brevis and Shivam Dube for taking their chances, which paid off. He has no complaints about the effort, praising the bowlers for trying their best. Looking ahead, Rahane says the focus is on winning the remaining two games and seeing where that takes them.
