KKR vs CSK, Last Match Scorecard: Highlights and Results

After two consecutive away games, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to host their third home game in IPL 2023 when they face the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Eden Gardens on Sunday, April 23.

Currently placed eighth in the table with just two wins and four losses, KKR haven't been at their best so far. They will be eyeing to get back to winning ways after their loss against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in their previous outing.

In their fourth away game of the season, KKR were put to bat first in the rain-hit game at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. On what was a placid surface, DC's bowlers produced a clinical performance and bowled the Knight Riders out for 127 runs.

Playing his first match for KKR, Jason Roy looked decent for his 39-ball 43. While all four of Ishant Sharma, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Anrich Nortje picked up two wickets apiece, Andre Russell slammed Mukesh Kumar for three consecutive sixes in the last over to give Kolkata’s total a semblance of respectability.

In their chase, David Warner began in aggressive mode and struck five boundaries in the first three overs. He hit his fourth fifty of IPL 2023 before getting dismissed in the 14th over.

The KKR bowlers made some inroads following Warner's wicket, with DC reeling 111-6 at one point. However, Axar Patel (19* off 22) survived some nervous moments to lift Delhi to their first win in IPL 2023.
