FOUR! Vaibhav Arora to Shivam Dube. Half volley, wide outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past long off for 4 runs. That concludes the first innings as Chennai Super Kings have posted a below-par total, their lowest ever in Chennai. Full credit to the visiting team, who maintained relentless pressure and never allowed Chennai batters to find their rhythm. Vijay Shankar showed glimpses of promise with a decent knock, but unfortunately, he couldn't convert it into a significant score. Shivam Dube added valuable runs towards the end. Sunil Narine was the pick of the bowlers, taking three crucial wickets to his name. Will this be a straightforward chase for Kolkata Knight Riders, or can the Chennai bowlers do something exceptional to defend? Stay tuned, as the chase promises to be an intriguing contest!
