CSK secure second straight win with 32-run victory over KKR
Chennai Super Kings secured their second consecutive win in the Indian Premier League 2026 season with a commanding 32-run victory over Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, in Chennai. The home side posted a competitive total before delivering a disciplined bowling performance to close out the match convincingly. Scorecard: Chennai Super Kings 192/5 (20 overs) Kolkata Knight Riders 160/7 (20 overs) CSK won by 32 runs Batting first after KKR opted to field, CSK endured an early setback when captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was dismissed for seven in the third over. However, Sanju Samson continued his strong form, anchoring the innings with a fluent 48 at the top. He combined effectively with Ayush Mhatre, adding 47 runs in just 22 balls, before Mhatre fell to Vaibhav Arora. Samson then stitched together a 39-run partnership with Dewald Brevis, maintaining CSK’s momentum through the middle overs. After Samson’s dismissal, Sarfaraz Khan contributed a quick 23, including a boundary and a six. Late hitting from Shivam Dube and Brevis ensured CSK pushed toward a strong total, although tight death bowling, particularly from Kartik Tyagi, restricted them to 192/5. KKR’s chase never gained traction. Early dismissals of Finn Allen and Sunil Narine within the Powerplay left the visitors under pressure. The turning point came between the 10th and 13th overs when KKR lost five crucial wickets, derailing their pursuit. Spinner Noor Ahmad played a decisive role, claiming three wickets and breaking the backbone of the batting lineup. Key middle-order players including Rinku Singh and Cameron Green fell cheaply, leaving KKR with a steep uphill task. A late surge from Rovman Powell and Ramandeep Singh added some respectability to the total, but the outcome was never in doubt. KKR finished at 160/7, remaining at the bottom of the standings after another disappointing performance. With this win, CSK continue to build momentum early in the IPL 2026 season, while KKR face mounting pressure to turn their campaign around.
