Strategic Break! Pretty even-stevens after the first 9 overs, one would reckon. However, KKR did get off to a fine start, losing just one wicket in the Powerplay and they scored close to 70 runs as well. That one over from Noor Ahmad has halted KKR's progress and now the CSK spinners will look to pounce and suffocate the KKR batters. A lot rides on Ajinkya Rahane if KKR are to navigate through this phase and be in a position of promise. Let's see how the next few overs play out.
