Andre Russell stole the show with an outstanding inning, scoring a remarkable 88 runs off just 36 balls, including 11 sixes - a true display of explosive power-hitting. His innings helped secure the match, and he remained unbeaten till the end.

Other notable performances included Robin Uthappa scoring 29 runs and Sunil Narine contributing with a quick-fire 12 before being dismissed. CSK's bowlers had their moments, with Shane Watson, Ravindra Jadeja, and Harbhajan Singh each picking crucial wickets to halt KKR’s momentum, but it wasn't enough to contain Russell’s rampage.
