Kolkata Knights Riders were set another massive target, this time a record one by Chennai Super Kings at the Eden Gardens on Sunday. The 235 for 4 is the highest total in IPL-16, as is the 18 sixes they hit on the way.

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway set the tone with an opening partnership of 73 off 45 deliveries while Shivam Dubey and Ajinkya Rahane made the most of that platform with 85 off just 32 for the third wicket. Rahane continued to toy with the bowling, toggling between towering hits over the rope and delicate touches to remain unbeaten on a 29-ball 71. Conway scored a 40-ball 56, Gaikwad had 35 off 20 and Dubey scored 50 off 21 as the CSK top-order all but batted KKR out of the contest.
