After Eoin Morgan won the toss and opted to field first, CSK's dependable openers got them off to yet another flying start.

They put on 61 runs for the first wicket before Ruturaj Gaikwad was caught in the deep by Shivam Mavi off Sunil Narine.

Nonetheless, Gaikwad overtook KL Rahul as the season's leading run-scorer with his 32 off 27, finishing the season with a tally of 635 runs.

Robin Uthappa came in at no. 3 and continued from where he had left off in the last match. The IPL veteran smashed 31 off 15 deliveries to ensure KKR's usually-miserly spinners were not able to hold CSK down.
