Kolkata began the game with attacking intent from the likes of Sunil Narine and Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who kept the scoring up. But then came Ravindra Jadeja with his off-spinners to turn the tide around as he scalped both batters in quick succession.
But, Narine’s short innings of 27 runs was enough to ensure that the West Indian would pip over DC’s David Warner and take over the 10th spot in the Orange Cap standings, with a total of 160 runs so far.
CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad seemed in fine form as he finally mustered up a captain’s knock to post up his first fifty of this season and as CSK captain. But, it was hard-hitter Shivam Dube’s quick knock of 28 runs, that helped him climb up to 11th spot in the Orange Cap standings with 158 runs, a mere 2 runs less than Narine
