KKR finally break the ‘Chepauk Curse’ after 11 years | CSK Vs KKR IPL 2023
“KKR finally break the ‘Chepauk Curse’ after a whopping 11 years! CSK started off with a bang, thinking they were invincible after choosing to bat first and scoring 52 runs in the powerplay. But wait, the mighty spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy had other plans! They not only snatched wickets like candy but also turned on their ‘scoring lockdown mode.’ CSK’s hopes were crushed in the middle overs, managing a measly 40 runs and losing 4 wickets. Narine was a magician, giving away a laughable 15 runs in four overs, and taking two crucial wickets like a boss!
Shivam Dube tried to rescue CSK with an unbeaten 48 off 34 balls. It was like watching a superhero trying to save a sinking ship. They posted a mere 144 runs on the board, like a humble offering to the cricket gods.
Now, let’s talk about KKR’s rollercoaster ride! They stumbled out of the gate, losing 3 wickets in the powerplay, thanks to Deepak Chahar’s fierce bowling. It seemed like they were playing a game of ‘catch-the-wickets’ rather than cricket. But hey, don’t underestimate the power of a comeback!
The true heroes of the match were Skipper Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh, who formed an unbeatable bond on the field. They decided to flip the script and turn the tables on the hosts with a mind-blowing partnership of 99 runs off just 77 balls. It was like watching a Bollywood movie, complete with drama, action, and a whole lot of sixes and fours! Rana remained unbeaten on 57 off 44 balls, showing off his ‘cricket ninja’ skills. Meanwhile, Rinku rocked the scoreboard with his explosive knock of 54 off 43 balls, smashing the ball to the moon with 3 maximums and 4 fours.
And guess what? KKR didn’t just win, they won in style! They beat CSK by 6 wickets, leaving everyone dumbfounded and speechless. They even had 9 balls to spare, as if they were on a leisurely stroll in the park. This match will go down in history as one of the crucial moments in KKR 2023 campaign. Cheers to KKR for giving us a match worth sharing, liking, and tagging our friends in!”
MSD, Skipper: ” The moment we delivered the 1st ball in the second innings, we realized that we needed 180 on the board. But there was no way we could have got 180 on that wicket. The dew made a big difference in the 2nd innings. We can’t really blame any of our bowlers. Just the conditions had a big impact on the game. Very happy with what Shivam Dube has done, but important that he is not satisfied and wants to keep improving. Deepak Chahar has the ability to swing the ball, he knows what fields to take, and he bowls accordingly.”
Nitish Rana, Skipper: ” Said at the toss that if all 3 departments fire, our chances are good. Have to give credit to Chandrakant Pandit Sir for this – I wasn’t in favor of taking a heavy roller but he insisted to go for it. I feared the pitch might break up. But that didn’t happen and the ball didn’t turn much.”
Rinku Singh is Player of the Match
Rinku Singh: ” We Lost some early wickets and when I went in Nitish Rana said it’s a difficult pitch to bat on. Will take singles and capitalize on bad balls. I bat in the same position in domestic cricket and play the same way. I have always believed in the power that I possess. I have worked hard on my game.”
