The T20 Podcast with Ayaz Memon: Chennai Top Standings With Win Over Kolkata

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway set the tone for Chennai yet again with a 73-run opening stand.

Chennai registered their third victory on the bounce, courtesy of a comprehensive 49-run win over Kolkata at the Eden Gardens. The home team's skipper, Nitish Rana might regret asking Chennai to bat first as they scored 235 runs – the highest of this season. Devon Conway, Shivam Dube and Ajinkya Rahane all scored fifties.

In response, Kolkata could only score 186 runs. Jason Roy and Rinku Singh scored half-centuries for them, but barring that, none of the other batters could offer any fight.
