It’s turning out to be KKR’s night!
Shivam Dube falls, CSK 61 for 5 in 10.5 overs
Almost 50 runs in the last 3 overs of the innings and an impeccable half-century by MSD! But will this be enough to save the match
In his first ever IPL game for CSK not as a captain, it’s MS Dhoni who steps up!
But will 131 be enough in the #IPL2022 opener?
