00:46 (IST): Once again, it's an all-round performance from Chennai Super Kings that takes them to a convincing win over Kolkata Knight Riders in the first match of the Indian leg of IPL 2014. Captain MS Dhoni said at the match presentation that he was initially worried about the decision to bat first keeping the rain in mind. However, he was happy with the fact that Chennai have one of the most balanced sides in the tournament. Ravindra Jadeja was deservedly given the Man of the Match award for his spell of 4/12 (the best so far in this year's IPL) and also an unbeaten 17-run knock. That's it from us then!
