Karn Sharma – 8. Very tidy on his return to the side in place of Piyush Chawla. His two for 25 included the two left-handers sent in to combat his leg spin. Sportzpics for BCCI
KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS RATINGS: Rahul Tripathi – 9. Carried on from his late overs cameo last time out by leading from the front this time. Outshone his celebrated colleagues with 81 from 51. Sportzpics for BCCI
Shubman Gill – 5. Not as good at ugly swipes as he is playing straight, and he edged a mow behind of Thakur on 11. Sportzpics for BCCI
Nitish Rana – 5. Holed out to Jadeja when slog-sweeping Karn Sharma having reached nine. Sportzpics for BCCI
Sunil Narine – 7. More confident with the bat after dropping down from opening. His bowling was crucial, particularly the 19th over of Chennai's innings. Sportzpics for BCCI
Eoin Morgan – 5. Looked furious after gloving a Curran bouncer behind. Maybe he was fed up at not being higher in the order. Sportzpics for BCCI
Andre Russell - 8. Won the game for his side bowling the 18th and 20th overs. It was like men against boys. Sportzpics for BCCI
Dinesh Karthik – 4. Sacrificed himself by going lower in the batting order than he has to date, but the pieces still aren’t fitting together perfectly. Sportzpics for BCCI
Pat Cummins – 7. He had bowled out his four overs within 11 overs of the CSK run chase. Tight enough, but Kolkata could have done with inroads from him. Sportzpics for BCCI
Shivam Mavi – 6. Bowled all his overs in the power-play, at which point Chennai had looked like they were cruising. Sportzpics for BCCI
Kamlesh Nagarkoti – 6. Took the wicket of a set Rayudu – albeit it was more batsman error. He brings so much energy to Kolkata’s fielding. Sportzpics for BCCI
Varun Chakravarthy – 7. He should treasure his wicket of Dhoni. It was a fine piece of bowling, especially having been hit for four the ball before. It was vital, too. Sportzpics for BCCI
CHENNAI SUPER KINGS RATINGS: Shane Watson – 7. He has found his groove now. Not as spectacular as last time out, but gave the run-chase the platform that was required. Sportzpics for BCCI
Faf du Plessis – 6. Started as he finished against Kings XI Punjab, before edging Mavi behind when he was on 17 off 10 balls. Sportzpics for BCCI
Ambati Rayudu – 6. Gave his wicket away softly, having contributed 30 to a stand worth 69 with Watson. Sportzpics for BCCI
MS Dhoni – 5. Held a brilliant catch in the last over without a glove on his right hand. Could not stay around for the finish after he was bowled by Chakravarthy for 11. Sportzpics for BCCI
Sam Curran – 7. Bouncing out the England captain might not have been great for his international prospects, but CSK were delighted. Fell at just the wrong time in the chase. Sportzpics for BCCI
Kedhar Jadhav – 2. Shuffled down the batting order, and, when he finally made it to the crease, he played just the sort of innings his side did not need. Sportzpics for BCCI
Ravindra Jadeja – 6. A mix of stunning and almost stunning in the field. A catch, a fine relay to Du Plessis, and a run out – but he dropped one and missed some shies at the stumps, too. Sportzpics for BCCI
Dwayne Bravo – 7. Not as miserly as some of his fellow seamers, but bowled a superb last over, picking up his 150th IPL wicket in the process. Sportzpics for BCCI
Shardul Thakur – 7. Clean hitting by Cummins spoilt his figures, but his wickets of Gill and Russell were vital. Sportzpics for BCCI
Deepak Chahar – 5. Loose, as he sent down two wides, and conceded five fours and two sixes during his four overs. Sportzpics for BCCI
Karn Sharma – 8. Very tidy on his return to the side in place of Piyush Chawla. His two for 25 included the two left-handers sent in to combat his leg spin. Sportzpics for BCCI
