The match encountered many records- the second-highest target chased down during this IPL without losing a wicket and fourth-highest opening stands in IPL history and second-highest opening stand during a chase in IPL.
Under MS Dhoni leadership CSK has won by 10 wickets for the second time, first was in 2013 also against KXIP.
The opener, Aussie Shane Watson who scored his first fifty of the tournament after 4, 33, 14, 1 in his first four innings this season also marked his return in the game.
CSK fans were waiting for one such kind of matches since CSK lost the previous two matches. And now the fans are looking forward to more such performance from Dhoni and CSK.
