Kolkata: The dismissal of young batsman Shubhaman Gill (57 not out) and skipper Dinesh Karthik (45 not out) was a huge burden on Chennai Super Kings on Thursday. On both these occasions, Kolkata Knight Riders stunned Chennai's victorious chariot by winning six wickets in the Indian Premier League match. In this match played at the Eden Gardens Stadium, Chennai batted first, scoring 177 runs in 20 overs losing 5 wickets in 20 overs. Hosts Kolkata achieved this target by losing four wickets in 17.4 overs.

Shubhaman faced 36 balls in his half-century, and added six sixes and two sixes. Captain Kartik hit seven fours and a six in 18 balls. Both gave victory to the team with a 83-run partnership for the fifth wicket in a difficult time.

This partnership came when the hosts lost their four wickets at 97 runs. Chris Lynn struck two glorious sixes on Lungi Nadidi in the first over, but the last ball was caught by Shane Watson. Sunil Narine, who came to start the innings with him, had an aggressive approach from the other end. He made 32 runs in 20 balls with the help of four fours and two sixes.

Naren though K.M. In the second over thrown by Asif, Ravindra Jadeja gave two life wins. In the meantime, Robin Uthappa (6) was dismissed by Asif for Dwayne Bravo's total score of 40. On the fourth ball of the seventh over, Jadeja gave a slight relief to Chennai, making his mistake, Sudhunar and Narine caught by Bravo, but Naren had done the work he had done.

Rinku Singh, who came in place of Nitish Rana, could contribute 16 runs. Shubhaman and the captain took charge and batting in their own style gave Kolkata a victory. Earlier, Chennai skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni came in at the end to reach the challenging score of 25 balls with four sixes and one four to help the team score 43 not out.

Chennai got a good start once again The pair of Faf du Plessis (27) and Watson (36) gave the team a score of 48 in five overs. Du Plessis became bold on the first ball of Piyush Chawla in the next over. Suresh Raina gave good support to Watson and shared 43 runs for the second wicket. On the total score of 91, Watson was caught by Shivam Mavi at Naren's ball in an attempt to hit a big shot.

Suresh Raina was seen in his old style. He made four fours in his innings, but as soon as he was catching the rhythm, Kuldeep Yadav's ball was caught by Mitchell Johnson on the boundary near the border. Raina scored 31 runs in 26 balls.

In this season, Ambati Rayudu, who has been in excellent form from the bat, scored 21 runs in 17 balls with three fours. After Rayudu's departure, Dhoni added a 54-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Ravindra Jadeja to help the team score 174.

Jadeja was just 12 runs in this partnership. Jadeja's wicket dropped on the fifth ball of the last over. Chawla and Naren took two or two wickets for Kolkata. Kuldeep Yadav got a breakthrough
