However, the West Indian all-rounder failed to take advantage and was dismissed by Shakib.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">McCullum and Suresh Raina(31) then combined well, stringing together a 70-run partnership for the second wicket.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (22 not out) and Jadeja (17 not out) added the finishing touches with an unbeaten 29-run partnership off just 15 balls.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Shakib Al Hasan was the pick of the Kolkata bowlers with figures of two for 25 in his four overs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Brief Scores:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Chennai Super Kings: 148 for three in 17 overs (Brendon McCullum 56, Suresh Raina 31; Shakib Al Hasan 2-25, Andre Russell 1-25).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Kolkata Knight Riders: 114 for nine in 17 overs (Robin Uthappa 47, Yusuf Pathan 41; Ravindra Jadeja 4-12, Mohit Sharma 3-22).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">--Indo-Asian New Service<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
