      18.6: Vaibhav Arora to Noor Ahmad, OUT! TAKEN! Noor Ahmad had to go for a big hit, with it being the final ball! KKR are still pretty much in it. On a back of a length, on middle, Noor Ahmad hangs back and flat bats it. Does not get any sort of elevation and hits it flat and straight to long on where Rinku Singh does the rest. CSK need 8 from the final over.

      18.5: Vaibhav Arora to Noor Ahmad, Arora is not happy with the effort in the deep! Vaibhav goes full and straight, at the stumps, Noor Ahmad gets his bat down to jam it out. Squeezes it out off an inside edge to the right of deep square leg where Ramandeep Singh swoops in and gets to the ball. The throw is a loopy one and even though the keeper, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, collects and whips the bails, Noor is in with a dive at the batting end. Two runs taken.

      18.4: Vaibhav Arora to Shivam Dube, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! A ray of hope for KKR! Rinku Singh holds onto a pressure catch. This was there to be hit, in the slot, around off, Shivam Dube winds up to go over long off and ends up getting more height than distance on it.

    • 6

      18.3: Vaibhav Arora to Shivam Dube, SIX! In the arc and thumped into the stands! Vaibhav Arora shifts from his wide yorker plan. Serves it closer to the off stump. On a length, Shivam Dube whacks it over wide long on for a biggie.

    • 0

      18.3: Vaibhav Arora to Shivam Dube, Wide! Arora sticks to the wide yorker ploy from around the wicket, Shivam Dube reaches out and throws his hands at the delivery but misses. KKR go for the review again. This time, no part of the ball is within the tramline. It will stay as a wide.

    • 0

      18.2: Vaibhav Arora to Shivam Dube, Vaibhav Arora goes for the wide yorker but the ball goes just beyond the tramline. Shivam Dube lets it be. Ajinkya Rahane asks the keeper and sends it upstairs in the hope of overturning the wide call. A tiny portion of the ball is within the guideline. The decision is overturned. DOT!

      18.1: Vaibhav Arora to MS Dhoni, At 125 kph, on a back of a length, around off, MS Dhoni stays leg side of the ball and cuts it to deep point for a single.
