In the 25th match of the 2025 Indian Premier League, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by a total of eight wickets. The game was played at Chennai’s Chepauk Stadium on Friday, April 11. This season, it was the yellow team’s sixth consecutive loss.
On a slow pitch, CSK battled badly after being asked to bat first, reaching 103 for nine in 20 overs. It was a poor day for the hosts, with only Devon Conway (12), Vijay Shankar (29), and Shivam Dube (31*) scoring in double figures.
The three best bowlers for KKR were Sunil Narine (3/13), Varun Chakaravarthy (2/22), and Harshit Rana (2/16). The chase was subsequently swiftly concluded by Sunil Narine (44) and company using aggressive batsmanship. The Kolkata team achieved a triumph that increased their net run rate by reaching 107/2 in just 10.1 overs.

MS Dhoni offered the following analysis of CSK’s subpar performance against KKR during the post-match presentation:
“I think there’s been quite a few nights which hasn’t gone out way. It’s about figuring out how to play the difficult deliveries. Just not enough runs on the board. It was stopping a bit but if you lose too many wickets, cricket looks different and with so many quality spinners it didn’t really happen. We needed much more application than what we did.”
MS Dhoni
MS Dhoni further added:
“Well what is important is to see the conditions. We have done well on a couple of occasions. Our good openers are good cricketers, they need to play authentic shots. If you start looking for 60-64 it gets difficult with the batting line up we have. If we lose too many wickets, things gets different for the middle order as they have to wait a longer time to start slogging.”
MS Dhoni
