On the contrary, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) just did the opposite, going after the CSK bowlers and eventually paying the prize. But there's Andre Russell. He played one of his slowest innings, even refusing to take singles, to make sure that his team crosses that magical 100-run mark. Then again, a target of 109 runs against CSK at Chepauk will, most often than not, have only one result. And that's what happened tonight. The result leaves CSK and KKR swapping spots on the points table.
