When the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) last met at the MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) on 8th April 2024 in Match 22 of IPL 2024, it was the home team that emerged victorious. CSK chased down the target of 138 runs comfortably, winning the game by 7 wickets with 14 balls to spare.
Now, KKR will be looking to repeat the history and defeat CSK at their home ground again to register their fourth straight win of the season.
