The 22nd league match of the ongoing IPL cricket series in India concluded yesterday at Chepakkam Stadium in Chennai.

Chennai Super Kings, captained by Rudraraj Gaikwad, who performed extremely well in this match, defeated Kolkata Knight Riders, captained by Shreyas Iyer, by 7 wickets and registered their third win in the series. Under this, after winning the toss in yesterday's match, Chennai team announced to bowl first. After this, the Kolkata team, which came to play first, could not stand against the excellent bowling of Chennai and at the end of 20 overs, it could score only 137 runs after losing 9 wickets. Shreyas Iyer scored the highest 34 runs for Kolkata.

Tushar Deshpande and Ravindra Jadeja performed brilliantly for Chennai and took 3-3 wickets. Chennai team, playing with a target of 138 runs to win, scored 141 runs by losing only 3 wickets in 17.4 overs and won by 7 wickets. Talking about the defeat after the match, Kolkata team captain Shreyas Iyer said, we made a very good start in the powerplay of this match. But we could not recover from that collapse as we kept losing wickets in the middle overs.

And we were not able to predict the condition of this field and the game. After the powerplay it became difficult to score runs on the pitch.

Meanwhile, CSK players have predicted the conditions of this ground very well. Our batsmen could not score runs because their bowling also seemed to be according to plan. A score of 160 to 170 would definitely have been a good score in this match. But as we lost wickets consecutively, the momentum changed. It is noteworthy that Shreyas Iyer had said that the players of Chennai team easily understood the nature of this ground, hence they could easily win.
