The thrilling encounter between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Chepauk Stadium on Tuesday was not just a delight for the fans who had to wait for two years to witness the Yellow Brigade in action, but also Bollywood actress Sonal Chauhan enjoyed the exhilarating encounter at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Taking to Twitter, Sonal congratulated CSK and MS Dhoni on the nail-biting win over KKR.
“What a crazyyyy match !!! Kept me on the edge. Congrats @ChennaiIPL and #captaincool @msdhoni 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍😍😍”, she wrote in her first tweet.

Showing great maturity, Billings converted the ones into twos and waited for the right balls to hit into the stands as he ensured that when he did get out, CSK needed just 19 off 9 balls and that was all they required as Ravindra Jadeja finished it off with a six as the Chepauk crowd went into a frenzy.
Needing 17 off the final 6 balls, KKR pacer Vinay Kumar started horribly as he bowled a no-ball and the ball went for a six off Dwayne Bravo’s bat. And that was not all as he then bowled a wide with CSK needing 7 off 4 balls as that made it 6 off 4. After that, it was the Jadeja sign-off that had everyone in Chennai on their feet.
For KKR though, it was snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as Andre Russell gave a brilliant display of power-hitting as his unbeaten 88 off just 36 balls with 11 sixes helped Kolkata notch up a winning 202/6 in their 20 overs.
