On Saturday, Kolkata Knight Riders beat Chennai Super Kings by six wickets in the IPL opener.
CSK batted first and managed a moderate 131 for five thanks to Mahendra Singh Dhoni's undefeated fifty and inputs from skipper Ravindra Jadeja (26 not out) and Robin Uthappa (28).
In his 38-ball innings, Dhoni smashed seven fours and a six for the first time in 12 seasons without wearing the captain's armband.

CSK's most successful bowler was Dwayne Bravo, who took three for twenty in his four overs. One was taken by Mitchell Santner (1/31).
