CSK vs KKR Clash: Indian Premier League 2024 Score Update
The 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL), also known as IPL 17 and branded as TATA IPL 2024, has been a spectacle of exhilarating cricket action. On 8 April 2024, cricket enthusiasts were treated to a captivating match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. This match not only showcased the intense competition but also provided intriguing insights into the players’ performances and team strategies.
Indian Premier League 2024 – CSK’s Bowling Brilliance
The match kicked off with CSK opting to field after winning the toss. Their decision proved fruitful as CSK’s bowlers, led by the experienced Ravindra Jadeja, put up a stellar performance. Jadeja’s spin wizardry accounted for three crucial wickets, conceding only 18 runs in his spell of four overs. His tight line and length made scoring difficult for the KKR batsmen, setting the tone for CSK’s dominance in the match.
KKR’s Batting Struggles
On the batting front, KKR faced significant challenges in building partnerships and accelerating the run rate. Despite Shreyas Iyer’s valiant effort with the bat, scoring 34 runs off 32 balls, KKR lost wickets at regular intervals, hampering their momentum. The relentless pressure from CSK’s bowlers, including Vaibhav Arora’s disciplined bowling, restricted KKR to a modest total of 137/9 in their allotted 20 overs.
CSK’s Clinical Chase
Chasing a target of 138 runs, CSK’s openers, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra, provided a solid start. Gaikwad, in particular, showcased his batting prowess by anchoring the innings with a resilient unbeaten knock of 67 runs off 58 deliveries. His partnership with Shivam Dube, who played a quickfire cameo, ensured that CSK maintained a steady run rate throughout the chase.

Actor Preity Zinta, who turns 48 on January 31, had shared her reasons for moving on from films and taking ownership of a cricket club in the Indian Premier League in a 2012 interview.
Along with her leading role in Soldier (1998) opposite Bobby Deol, she won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut for both films. Soon, she made her mark as one of the top female actors in the 2000s.
The actor, who turns 48 on January 31, had a number of hits with strong roles in films like Kya Kehna (2000), Chori Chori Chupke Chupke (2001), Dil Chahta Hai (2001), Dil Hai Tumhaara (2002) and Armaan (2003). Starring once again with Shah Rukh in Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003), she picked up Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her performance as Naina in the Karan Johar film. Other hits that decade included Koi… Mil Gaya (2003), Veer-Zaara (2004), Salaam Namaste (2005) and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006).
But in the years after that Preity took on less work and appeared in fewer films. She then moved on to focus on her new role, as co-owner of the Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Preity also owns the Stellenbosch Kings which is part of the Mzansi Super League in South Africa as well as the Saint Lucia Kings team in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
In a 2012 interview with India Today, the actor spoke about her decision to turn team owner in the IPL. She shared, “When you reach a place of stagnation, you move to another zone. I had worked with the best of filmmakers, producers weren’t giving me earthy or rural roles. And I did not want to be limited to NRI, bubble-gum-babe roles. So I thought, now what?”
She added, “That’s when the idea of a cricket club came to me. At the time, it meant an investment of five million dollars which I thought I could do. Once I bought the team, I went to Harvard Business School. I did everything I could to learn this business and then I got obsessed with IPL!”
She was last seen in the long-delayed action comedy Bhaiaji Superhit (2018) along with Sunny Deol, Arshad Warsi and Ameesha Patel. The actor married businessman Gene Goodenough on February 29, 2016 and now resides primarily in Los Angeles. They welcomed twins, son Jai and daughter Gia, through surrogacy in 2021.
Ever since Brendon McCullum launched the Indian Premier League into the financial stratosphere with a stunning innings that lit up the inaugural match in 2008, other countries have worked feverishly to emulate it.
After two aborted attempts, South Africa’s third effort to establish a vibrant franchised T20 competition got under way on Tuesday in Cape Town, and it found its own McCullum in the preternaturally talented Dewald Brevis.
Imitation sprang readily to mind in this instance because all six of the South African franchises are owned by IPL teams: Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals own the teams in Cape Town and Paarl respectively, who were pitched against each other for the opening match.
The privately owned element of cricket is becoming ever more concentrated in the hands of IPL owners, who will be itching to get involved in England when the time comes.
