Right then, yet another fascinating contest in the 2025 IPL comes to an enthralling end. With just a handful of games remaining in the league stage, we will start to see a couple of more teams bow out and a couple of them seal a top-four berth. Next up, it is another crunch clash between two teams that are in the top 5 currently, as Punjab Kings welcome Delhi Capitals at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. That game will be played on Thursday, 8 May at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but you can tune in a lot sooner to our build-up. Cheers!
Anshul Kamboj is the new man in. However, it will be MS Dhoni on strike. Andre Russell to bowl the final over, 8 needed for CSK to win. Here we go...
Noor Ahmad is in next.
Vaibhav Arora to bowl the crucial penultimate over. Remember, he went for 30 in his previous over. Can he redeem himself?
Strategic Break! Right then, 40 needed off 30 balls and 9 out of 10 times, you would bet your money on the batting side. However, CSK are 6 down and KKR will know that one more wicket before it's too late and this game could end up being a very close one. Can MSD use all of his experience to take his side home? Or will KKR's bowlers manage to pinch a couple of crucial points for their side? Let's find out... With that said, Andre Russell comes in to bowl his first over of the game.
Harshit Rana (2-0-24-2) is back on.
The CSK skipper, MS Dhoni, is the new batter in. A short leg in place as well.
Varun Chakaravarthy is brought back to finish his spell.
Wide not given and Shivam Dube has taken the review. Flat line on UltraEdge and the on-field call has been overturned to a wide.
STRATEGIC BREAK! It’s been an action-packed first 8 overs of CSK’s chase. The visitors have gone hard with the bat but have paid the price, losing wickets at regular intervals. With the required rate still under control, they now need a steady partnership to anchor the innings. At the same time, they can’t allow KKR’s spinners to dictate terms in the middle phase. A crucial passage of play awaits.
The wind has really picked up and there is a slight hold-up. We are good to go now.
It will be spin from both ends as Sunil Narine comes on from the other end.
CSK's Impact sub, Shivam Dube, comes out to the middle. Matheesha Pathirana has been subbed out.
Dewald Brevis walks out to bat. A change in bowling as Varun Chakaravarthy comes into the attack.
Ravindra Jadeja makes his way out to the centre.
Ravichandran Ashwin is in at number 4.
It will be spin from the other end in the form of Moeen Ali.
Urvil Patel walks out to bat on his IPL debut.
