CSK bowlers used the surface perfectly
Slow Chepauk surface was brilliantly used by CSK bowlers specialy by Ravindra Jadeja, KKR went to a good start in powerplay 51 runs for 1 wicket but then came the Jaddu storm and the top order of KKR was destroyed and suddenly KKR were just 99 for 5 wickets in 15 overs.

MS Dhoni Took Control of CSK
After winning 2 games at home CSK were on top of the table but they had to face 2 away defeates against DC and SRH. Back home the game against KKR the CSK legend Ms Dhoni looked proactive in the field managing fielders making strategies for the bowlers, and he briliently controlled his bowlers and stopped in form KKR batting line up to just 137 runs in 20 overs.
