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.

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.
