In this match, Chennai Super Kings won by 7 wickets. Even though Kolkata Knight Riders lost this match, it was a special day for the team’s wicketkeeper batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz.

Let us tell you, former Chennai Super Kings captain and experienced wicketkeeper batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni gave his autographed bat to Rahmanullah Gurbaz as a gift. Gurbaz was not included in the playing XI of the Kolkata team in the match played against Chennai Super Kings.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz has not played a single match in IPL 2024 yet

Let us tell you, Rahmanullah Gurbaz has not yet played a single match for the Kolkata team in IPL 2024. In place of Gurbaz, KKR has included Phil Salt in the playing XI as an opener. Salt failed to bat well against Chennai Super Kings and was out without opening the account on the first ball.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz would also be wishing that he gets a chance as soon as possible so that the experienced batsman can also leave his mark in IPL 2024. Kolkata Knight Riders have played 4 matches this season, out of which the team has won three while they have faced defeat in one. Talking about Chennai, out of 5 matches, they have won three while the team has lost in two.
