Faf hit seven boundaries and three sixes in the innings where he dominated the proceedings.

CSK lost the wicket of Ruturaj Gaikwad  after he added 32 important runs with his willow.

Sunil Narine picked up his wicket to give CSK the first jolt.

However, Robin Utthapa, who once played for KKR, added quickfire 31 runs off 15 balls to keep the scorecard running fast.

Moeen Ali later hit three sixes and two boundary in his 20-ball 37 runs knock.

KKR bowlers remained mostly ineffective in the match.

Sunil Narine picked up two wickets for KKR.
