Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings assistant bowling coach Sridharan Sriram revealed that West Indies spin bowling all-rounder Akeal Hosein guided Afghanistan mystery spinner Noor Ahmad on the precise lengths required to exploit the Chepauk surface, as they beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 32 runs.

Noor and Akeal shared four wickets between themselves in their combined eight overs and conceded just 56 runs to leave KKR batting line-up in tatters. Noor in particular picked 3-21 and was the key in CSK getting their second straight win of the competition.

“They both communicate well, and they’ve got a very good understanding. I think Akeal was the one who went and told Noor about the length that he needed to bowl. Noor bowled a bit short in the first over, but once he found that in-between length, he was unplayable.
