Veteran all-rounder Jadeja (3/18) led CSK's assault at the Chepauk, resulting in frequent wickets and a successful attempt to limit the amount of runs scored. Moreover, spinner Tushar Deshpande (3/33) bowled three batsmen and Mustafizur Rahman (2/22) took two wickets. KKR's top scorer, Shreya sIyer, amassed 34 runs off of 32 balls.
