Poor captaincy from Morgan
KKR would've won this match, had Sunil Narine bowled the 19th over.

Jadeja has literally become a cricketing lord ever since that unbelievable innings in the Semi-Final of World Cup 2019. He has, within a very short period, developed an insane ability and confidence to hit the ball far and to all parts of the ground. It's a rare quality to have for a lower-order batsman to be so good on off-side, even if most left-handers naturally are so anyway. Chennai`s slog overs charge rest heavily on him. An admirable cameo today!

Narine, by the way, too is a legend T20 bowler and possibly the best spinner in the format in my opinion. Almost defended those very few runs in the last over, and I still haven't forgotten what he did to Punjab the last season, which was an unbelievable comeback engineered by the man.

I expect CSK to be in the final. They are in a very good form.
