CHE vs KKR: Another day and another disappointing defeat for the five-time champion Chennai Super Kings. They have lost another home game in the IPL 2025. This time the current champion Kolkata Knight Riders have thrashed them by 8 wickets and 59 balls to spare to record one of the heaviest defeats to CSK.
It started with Ajinkya Rahane winning the toss and electing to bowl. CSK didn’t have a good start and lost both openers for 16 runs. They had a small 43-run stand between Vijay Shankar (29 off 21) and Rahul Tripathi (16 off 23). Once that partnership was broken, CSK kept losing wickets. They only managed 103/9 in the first innings.
Sunil Narine (3/16), Varun Chakaravarthy (2/22), and Harshit Rana (2/16) did the damage. It was an easy chase, and KKR made sure that they reached the target early to improve their NRR. KKR scored 107/2 in 10.1 overs to win the game. Sunil Narine (44 off 18), Quinton de Kock (23 off 16), and Ajinkya Rahane (20* off 17) played cameos to help KKR win the game.
