Former KKR captain Dinesh Karthik played a stellar inning putting all his energy into reviving KKR against CSK as they are chasing a total of 221 runs to win.
Dinesh Karthik played an impressive partnership with Andre Russell where the duo scored 75+ runs in their partnership very quickly to take the run rate of the team up to 10.

Dinesh Karthik scored 40 runs, combined with 4 boundaries and 2 sixes in 24 balls with a strike rate of 166.67 as he troubled CSK bowlers and proved to be a headache for M S Dhoni as it waseemedike KKR have almost made a comeback into the match post-powerplay.
Dinesh Karthik’s impressive innings came to an end after Lungi Ngidi got his wicket for an lbw with a full toss in the middle.
