KL Rahul looked in great form in the match and won the Player of the Match award for his impressive innings. In a conversation with DC's mentor Kevin Pietersen, KL spoke about his views on the current T20 game, his training sessions with Abhishek Nayyar, and his style in the white ball cricket.

Much like their previous two outings, CSK lost early wickets in the Powerplay. A change in the opening pair didn’t pay off, as both Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway fell to soft dismissals. Even Ruturaj Gaikwad's half-hearted pull shot led to his downfall.
