Summary
That concludes the coverage of this match. Thanks for joining us. Good night!
Ajinkya Rahane | Player of the Match: Just had a clear mindset. If the thing between your ears is right, your mind is right then you'll be fine. I'm just trying to enjoy my game. The wicket was a bit sticky, but once you are in you have a great chance. We had a great start, and after that I wanted to play my shots and keep the momentum. I've enjoyed all my knocks, I still feel the best is yet to come.
CSK's Ajinkya Rahane is the Player of the Match for his unbeaten 71.
MS Dhoni, CSK Captain: I will just say thanks for the support, they came in big numbers. Most of these guys will come in a KKR jersey next time. They are trying to give me a farewell, so thanks a lot to the crowd. Fast bowlers are doing their job, so are spinners in the middle. The wicket was short on one side so we needed to get early wickets and keep the pressure. They have plenty of power hitters, so we had to give the respect to the opposition. I have a clear funda, if someone is injured he can't do anything. You just move on and motivate the youngsters to perform. We have been fortunate that all the guys coming in performs. (On Rahane) We realise the potential of someone when we allow him to bat the way he bats. Give him the freedom, give him the best position. In a team environment, someone has to sacrifice his slot to allow the others to get more comfortable.
Nitish Rana, KKR captain: Need to give credit to Jinks for carrying out whatever he was attempting. It's difficult to digest being taken for 235 runs on that pitch. We have not been improving in the tournament. If we keep repeating our mistakes in such a big tournament against big teams, you are going to be behind. We needed to have a good start [in the powerplay] chasing such a big score, but couldn't get it and we were always behind in the game.

CSK VS KKR LIVE SCORE: Kolkata Knight Riders 177/7 after 18 overs. (Rinku Singh 44, Umesh Yadav 4)
A 13-run over for Knight Riders. But their hopes of winning the match have faded away. All Rinku Singh and Umesh Yadav can now hope is to get as close to CSK's score so that their run rate doesn't take a beating.
Umesh Yadav, right handed bat, comes to the crease
CSK VS KKR LIVE SCORE: WICKET! Another KKR batter walks back as Tushar Deshpande traps David Wiese in front of the wickets
Slow good length delivery on middle and leg stump. David Wiese looks to play a big shot but fails to connect and the ball hits the back pads. The CSK players appeal for LBW but the umpire gives this as not out. Dhoni takes the review and the review shows that the ball is hitting the stumps.

Kolkata Knight Riders: 171/7 after 17.3 overs.
Tushar Deshpande to bowl his last over.
CSK VS KKR LIVE SCORE: Kolkata Knight Riders 164/6 after 17 overs. (Rinku Singh 37, David Wiese 1)
A top top over by Matheesha Pathirana at death as he picks the important wicket of Andre Russell and gives away only eight runs. The wicket of Russell has killed the little hopes that KKR had.
