Ruturaj Gaikwad ended up making 62*, his 3rd consecutive fifty in IPL 2020.
MS Dhoni had won the toss and chosen to bowl first. Deepak Hooda’s 62* and cameos from KL Rahul (29) and Mayank Agarwal (26) took KXIP to a fighting 153/6 in 20 overs. Lungi Ngidi picked 3/39, while Thakur, Jadeja, and Tahir picked one wicket each.
The chase of this modest target was never going to be a worry unless KXIP picked early wickets, but it was not to be. Faf du Plessis (48) and Ruturaj Gaikwad added 82 runs for the opening wicket in 10 overs. Then Rayudu (30*) helped Ruturaj, who made 62* to take CSK to the winning target with 7 balls to spare. It was Ruturaj's third consecutive half-century in this IPL 2020.
Chris Jordan was the sole wicket-taker for KXIP.
Unfortunately, KXIP’s gritty comeback in the tournament after losing consecutively in the beginning, came to an end with this loss in the tournament as with 12 points to their name, it is not possible for them to go into the top four.
The cricket fraternity reacted to this result of CSK winning the match and KXIP crashing out of the tournament on Twitter.
