Concerning the game, Ajinkya Rahane, whose T20 game has undergone a complete transformation, smashed an eye-popping 29-ball-71 as Chennai Super Kings out-batted Kolkata Knight Riders by 49 runs, buoyed by support from the capacity Eden Gardens crowd.
A transformed Rahane wowed Eden Gardens with his sensational stroke-play, which was matched by the muscular Shivam Dube (50 off 21 balls) and the ever-consistent Devon Conway (56 off 40 balls), with CSK scoring an impressive 235 for 4 in 20 overs.
Despite Jason Roy’s 61 and Rinku Singh’s 53 not out, KKR were bowled out for 186.
