Too little, too late for Trichy? D Tamil Kumaran gets the wicket of Shahrukh Khan and gives him a send-off before the batsmen gave it back to the bowler. Skipper Abhinav Mukund had to intervene to settle things between both the batsmen.

21:43 (IST)23 JUL 2018

While Shahrukh is going all guns blazing, Abhinav is perfectly playing the second fiddle to the right-hander. He is in some kind of form in the tournament. As we speak, just 13 runs were scored off the last two overs. 

LKK 64/0 after 8 overs

21:34 (IST)23 JUL 2018

Perfect end to the powerplay for the Kovai Kings as Shahrukh Khan does what he does best and sends a couple of balls to the ropes. He is looking ominous here and the Warriors will do well to get rid of him quickly.

21:33 (IST)23 JUL 2018

19 runs were scored off the last two overs as Shahrukh has raced his way to 32 in quick time.

MS Sanjay run out (Antony Dhas) 3 (9)

20:32 (IST)23 JUL 2018

19:42 (IST)23 JUL 2018

T Natarajan comes into the attack and almost had a wicket off his first ball but Mani Bharathy was dropped by MP Rajesh at mid-wicket. Later, skipper Abhinav Mukund made up for that by running K Bharath Shankar out. A boundary off the last ball makes it six off the over.

19:41 (IST)23 JUL 2018
