IPL 2019- CSK beat KKR: Here are the records broken
Chennai Super Kings are back to the top of the proceedings after beating an in-form Kolkata Knight Riders at home in match number 23 of Indian Premier League. KKR batted poorly on a slow pitch to register 108/9, as Andre Russell played a lone hand (50*). In reply, CSK eased past the target with Faf du Plessis anchoring the innings. Here're the records broken.
Some interesting feats for bowlers
Imran Tahir (2/21) now is the joint-second highest wicket-taker in IPL 2019 (9). Harbhajan Singh (2/15) has 141 career IPL wickets under his belt. He also increased his tally to 1,178 in terms of most dot balls in IPL. Sunil Narine (two wickets) has raced to 115 career IPL scalps. Ravindra Jadeja (1/17) is two wickets away from the mark of 100.
Russell registers 25 sixes in IPL 2019
Russell became the first batsman in IPL 2019 to register 25 sixes. The West Indian all-rounder now has 257 runs in IPL 12. He became the third player to get past 250 runs. Russell also notched his second fifty this season and a sixth career IPL fifty. He now needs seven more maximums to register 100 sixes in the IPL (93).
How did the match pan out?
Chahar was right on the money and took three wickets to hurt KKR. The visiting batsmen didn't apply themselves well on a pitch that needed patience. KKR were reduced to 47/6 with the CSK spinners taking charge. It was left to Russell, who got the side to a respectable score. In reply, CSK batted sensibly and got the job done.
Chahar continued his fine run
CSK take lead in the head-to-head records
