April 28, 2015  22:18

Kolkata 42-1 (4 ovs) vs Chennai 134-6 | Scorecard


Veteran Ashish Nehra to bowl the second over. Uthappa drives the second ball through the covers for two to get off the mark and hits the second ball through the same region as McCullum makes a sensational diving stop near the ropes to save some runs.

A short ball is pulled confidently over square leg for a four as 10 runs come from Nehra's first over.

Uthappa looks in good touch right from the start. A full delivery on the pads is flicked uppishly over midwicket and it carries all the way for a six.

Two balls later he lofts it in the same region for a four and then bowls a leg side wide as 12 come from his first four balls.

Mohit Sharma comes into the attack after just one for Nehra with the new ball in which he went for 10 runs.

Uthappa slams the first ball through the leg side for a four and lifts the next ball square for the same result.

The third ball is helped round the corner, lifted over the fine leg region to make it a hat-trick of boundaries.

Two singles from the rest of the over make it 14 runs from Mohit's first over as KKR race to 42 for one in four overs.

Uthappa has smashed 34 from 14 balls, while Pandey is seven from nine balls.
