It was a 120-run partnership!

The best part about this Faf & Raina partnership is the ease with which they’ve done it. It’s flowing like a stream ... no risk and high return

It's a FAFulous knock!

I remember people were mocking us for "wasting an RTM" on last year! What an asset he has been for us this season! Unsung hero!

Short ball comes back to haunt Raina!

Well played Raina, but a short ball is a short ball is a short ball is a kyptonite...

When you know Dhoni is the next batsman!

Kxip will not celebrate Raina’s wicket...The only reason is Next Batsman MSD ❤️

It's been a terrible season for Andrew Tye!

Andrew Tye has done an Unadkat. Won the purple cap last year and averages nearly 80 with the ball this year.

NO!! He's playing today!!

CSK may rest Tahir today. Four wickets last game...would have take a lot out of him. 😋
