In the 25th match of the 2025 Indian Premier League, Chennai Super Kings, held in Chepack, lost unilateral defeats against Kolkata Knight Riders, lost by 8 wickets. This marked CSK's fifth consecutive disadvantage in the tournament – the first in the franchise's IPL history.
KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and opted for bowling first, a decision that immediately paid dividends. CSK's batting order collapsed again, just 103 for only 103 for 9 in its 20 overs. Apart from Shivam Dubey (31* 29) and Vijay Shankar (21 runs 21), no batsman can settle. Harshit Rana (2/16), Sunil Narin (3/13), and Varun Chakarverthi (2/22) ensured continuous pressure on the struggling CSK lineup.
In response, KKR made fun of a minor target. Sunil Narin made his way off 44 balls in 18 balls with two fours and five sixes, while Quinton de Coke scored 23 runs for 16 runs. Ajinkya Rahane (20*) and Rinku Singh (15*) chased peacefully in just 10.1 overs, winning a major win for visitors.
CSK bowlers saw a toothless, in which Anshul Kamboj took only two wickets. Jadeja's solitary delivery scored 10 runs, fulfilling CSK's bad dream.
