Rahane Hit with 12 Lakh Fine as CSK Steamroll KKR
KKR skipper cops a fine for dragging his feet on the over-rate. That came in a 32-run loss where Noor Ahmad's 3/21 almost snatched an unlikely win.
Chennai Super Kings romped to a 32-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders right there at MA Chidambaram Stadium. They racked up 192/5. Bowlers then squeezed KKR to 160/7. Noor Ahmad shone brightest for them—4-21-3 at 5.25 an over. Didn't matter in the end.
Sanju Samson anchored CSK's innings with 48 off 32 balls, cracking four fours and three sixes. Ayush Mhatre chipped in 38 off just 17—six fours, two sixes. Dewald Brevis wasn't far behind at 41 off 29, same boundary count. KKR pushed back. Ajinkya Rahane made 28 off 22 with two sixes. Angkrish Raghuvanshi got 27 in 19 balls. Rovman Powell finished 31 not out off 22. Ramandeep Singh topped them with 35 off 23. CSK's bowlers delivered. Syed Khaleel Ahmed snared 1/24 in 3.5 overs at 6.26. Anshul Kamboj took 2/32, economy 8.00. Akeal Hosein grabbed 1/26 at 6.50.
KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane copped a INR 12 lakhs fine after the match. Slow over-rate. IPL Code Article 2.22. First offence. CSK stay hot off that 23-run beating of Delhi Capitals. KKR? Still smarting from LSG's 3-wicket heist.
