National Times Bureau, April 11, 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders delivered a ruthless performance on Friday, dismantling a lackluster Chennai Super Kings side by eight wickets in an IPL clash at Chepauk.
CSK, opting to bat first, crumbled under pressure and could only post a dismal 103 for nine—their lowest score at home. Shivam Dube remained unbeaten on 31, with Vijay Shankar contributing 29 and Rahul Tripathi adding 16, but the innings never found momentum.
KKR’s bowlers ran riot, led by Sunil Narine with figures of 3 for 13. Harshit Rana (2/16) and Varun Chakravarthy (2/22) backed him up effectively.
In response, KKR chased the target with ease, finishing at 107 for two in just 10.1 overs, sealing a commanding win in style.
