CSK's fifth win of the season came on the back of fiery 72-run knock by Ruturaj Gaikwad and a blinder of a cameo (31 off 11 balls) from Jadeja at the dying stages of their 173-run chase. Jadeja came into bat when the balance of the game was tilted towards KKR with CSK requiring needing another 33 runs from 17 balls. 'Jaddu' along with all-rounder English Sam Curran held their nerves and stitched together a gritty 38-run unbeaten partnership for the 5th wicket to take the team over the victory line. With 30 runs required off just 12 deliveries, Jadeja came out all guns blazing to first tonk Lockie Ferguson for plenty in the penultimate over and then hit 2 sixes off the final two balls of the match from Kamlesh Nagarkoti  to seal victory for the yellow brigade.
