    What a spectacular day of cricket it has been. Narine with the blitz in the first innings was a delight to watch and it was followed by quick breakthroughs by CSK to cap the run flow. Then we witnessed a six-storm by Russell to help KKR to a massive 202 which included a mammoth 11 sixes. 

    Well, what CSK did in reply was more fascinating. Watson helped them fly in the powerplay and MS Dhoni alongside Sam Billings brought CSK to the cusp of victory. But it was Jadeja who whipped it for a massive six off the penultimate ball to get the CSK fans roaring after a break of 1095 days.  
    ...
    Man of the match Sam Billings says, "Yes, it was a pleasure to bat alongside MS Dhoni and play alongside Harbhajan as well. Thankfully it was my day and executed the shots well. In T20, if you take it deep then you have chances of winning. We know as a team if we have wickets in hand then a target is within our reach."
    ...
    Winning skipper MS Dhoni says, "It feels good to win here after 2 years, they deserved it. Everyone have their own emotion in the dug-out and we always keep the faith in the batsman. If you're too expressive on the field then the commentators get a lot to talk about (grins). We feel KKR scored a lot more than us because of the sixes they hit."
    ...

    ...
    Dinesh Karthik says, "CSK is back after 2 years and we expected this kind of support. Russell got us to a great position but we need to have our chin up. That is how T20 cricket is and we will look at the positives."
    ...
    Credit to KKR for coming back into the game after CSK were off to a scorching start. Andre Russell entertained everyone with his unbeaten 88 to take KKR to 202 but it was a collective performance from CSK. Billings was superb today.
    ...
    ...
    CSK win and the sea of yellow erupts in joy as the home team clinch victory with 5 wickets in hand and a ball to spare. Tremendous game of cricket.
    ...
    Jadeja finishes off with a blast. Deposits it deep into the long-on stand and KKR have tasted their first defeat of the season.
    ...
    Jadeja had to come back for the second there. Even Tahir from the dug out thinks the same. He had to get Bravo on strike.
    ...
    No ball above waist high but hurray. Bravo has deposited this over the fence. 10 needed off 6 balls now. Pressure for VK now.
    ...
    It will be the man who bowled the first over, R.Vinay Kumar, who will be bowling the last. Is it going to be KKR or CSK?
    ...
    CSK 186/5 (19 overs)

    CSK need 17 from the last over now.
    ...
    He's out! Billings is gone and it is game on here. DJ Bravo walks out here and onus is on him to take them home now.
    ...
    Sam Billings is taking CSK home single-handedly here. Flat bats it for a six over the square leg region.
    ...
    Billings gets his fifty and that is probably a game changing fifty.
    ...
    CSK 176/4 (18 overs)
    ...
    Another six. Billings is doing what Russell did to CSK bowlers. Pummeled it for six. Can CSK steal a win from here?
    ...
    Billings goes for the ramp and executes it to perfection for a six. Absolutely stunning.
    ...
    ...
    CSK 164/4 (17 overs)

    CSK need 42 from the last 3 overs.
    ...
    Not quite where he intended but Billings gets a boundary as he is maintaining his composure
