It was a 120-run partnership!

The best part about this Faf & Raina partnership is the ease with which they’ve done it. It’s flowing like a stream ... no risk and high return #KXIPvCSK

It's a FAFulous knock!

I remember people were mocking us for "wasting an RTM" on @faf1307 last year! What an asset he has been for us this season! Unsung hero! #KXIPvCSK @IPL

Short ball comes back to haunt Raina!

Well played Raina, but a short ball is a short ball is a short ball is a kyptonite...#IPL2019 #KXIPvCSK

When you know Dhoni is the next batsman!

Kxip will not celebrate Raina’s wicket...The only reason is Next Batsman MSD ❤️#KXIPvCSK

It's been a terrible season for Andrew Tye!

Andrew Tye has done an Unadkat. Won the purple cap last year and averages nearly 80 with the ball this year. #KXIPvCSK

NO!! He's playing today!!

CSK may rest Tahir today. Four wickets last game...would have take a lot out of him. 😋
