Earlier,
Aparajith, who initially took the time to settle, build valuable partnerships and launched a late attack towards the death overs. He cleared the fence six times and also hit two boundaries. His seventh-wicket partnership with R Rohit was an absolute run-fest, as Kings conceded 59 runs in their last three overs. Aparajith’s is now the tournament’s leading run-scorer with 283.
Though M Mohammed, MK Siva Kumar, and Harish Kumar were smashed for runs, still Arun B, who conceded only 11 runs in his three overs, fared a little better amidst that carnage.
On to Kings, and they began their run-chase in exciting fashion - clearing the ropes a few times - before losing the wicket of Suryaprakash L to Rahil Shah. Anirudh Sita Ram later held the innings together as he built vital partnerships with both Tarun Srinivas and Harish Kumar S.
