- 22:39 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: Candid admission by Dhoni"Quite a few nights haven't gone our way. Need to look deep down inside," says MS Dhoni after the defeat. CSK have arguably beenthe worst team in the tournament, with their batting let them down time and time again.A lot for Dhoni and co. to think about when they take on LSG on Monday, April 14.
- 22:35 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: CSK outclassedChennai Super Kings have been completely and utterly outplayed by KKR tonight. Their team just does not look like one suited for T20 cricket, and the batting has let them down yet again. 5 straight losses, and for the first-time ever, three defeats in a row at home.A terrible return to captaincy for MS Dhoni.
- 22:30 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: Emphatic winComplete domination with ball and bat. KKR have had a topsy-turvy season, but their wins have been convincing. A huge net-run-rate boost as well, and they provisionally rise up to 3rd in the IPL 2025 table. Narine shone with a sensational all-round play, and everyone chipped in too.
- 22:28 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: KKR WINVictory for Kolkata Knight Riders! Rinku Singh smashes one out of the park, KKR have chased it down in just 10.1. They've utterly outclassed CSK at their own den, who slump to their fifth-straight defeat.KKR 107/2 (10.1) beat CSK 103/9 (20) by 8 wickets.
- 22:14 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: OUT!Narine gone! Noor Ahmad strikes first ball. Narine won't get to his half-century, but he's done his job. 3 wickets with the ball, 44 runs with the bat. KKR are cruising to victory against CSK. The visitors have sent Rinku Singh up the order!KKR 85/2 (7.1)
- 22:12 (IST)
- 22:05 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: SIX!What a shot! Ajinkya Rahane sends Khaleel over the ropes at deep square leg for a maximum. Terrific timing by the KKR captain. KKR continue the quick flow of runs, as they romp towards victory. And Narine now! 6 more, between mid-wicket and long on.KKR 66/1 (5.4)
- 21:55 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: Third six for QDK!Quinton de Kock is feasting here. Took a few balls to settle in, but he's now sent Khaleel to the cleaners. A second six of the over, third one tonight. Pitched very short, and hooked over fine leg for a maximum. Ashwin will bowl the next over.KKR 34/0 (3)
- 21:49 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: Top fielding!Sensational work in the deep by Anshul Kamboj at fine-leg. Almost the catch of the tournament! De Kock smashed it hard, and it was almost certainly going to be a six. Kamboj gets his right hand to it, and saves 3 runs. Earns the applause of the CSK unit.KKR 20/0 (2.1)
- 21:45 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: SIX more!Quinton de Kock now takes his chance! Pitched short-ish by Anshul Kamboj and de Kock helps it over square-leg, all the way. Next ball is poor too, as Kamboj oversteps and concedes a no-ball. Fortunately for CSK, de Kock is unable to maximize the free-hit.KKR 15/0 (1.2)
- 21:33 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: Can CSK do something different?CSK must go for an out-of-the-box strategy with their bowling today. Maybe hand the opening overs to a spinner. Remember, they won't have Pathirana either, because they used Hooda as an impact batter. With KKR likely to open with two left-handers, perhaps Dhoni can deploy Ashwin in the powerplay again.
- 21:28 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: MS Dhoni's dismissalMS Dhoni's dismissal will be looked back with doubt. There seemed to be a faint spike on UltraEdge as the ball passed the bat, but it was deemed inconclusive by the umpire. Could CSK have scored 20-25 more had he stayed? It's a big 'what if'.
- 21:27 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: Terrific bowling displayAn outstanding bowling performance by the Knight Riders. From choosing to open the bowling with Moeen Ali, to Harshit Rana's decisiveness, and the spin duo of Narine and Chakravarthy. The pitch is paradise for bowlers, but surely 104 should be chased down.
- 21:24 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: 103/9Lowest-ever total at home for CSK. Some boundaries at the end by Shivam Dube to help them past the 100-run mark, but a batting display to forget nevertheless. Three wickets for Sunil Narine, who out-witted the middle order. Dube top-scores with 31.CSK 103/9 (20 overs)KKR Target: 104
- 21:16 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: One over to goSix runs off Harshit's final over. He ends with figures of 2/16, excellent bowling by the pacer. Should've picked a wicket more, had catches not been dropped. Dube is playing it out till the end, but CSK are still staring at their lowest-ever home total.CSK 90/9 (19)
- 20:53 (IST)
- 20:52 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: OUT!MS Dhoni OUT! LBW! Sunil Narine gets his third wicket. Trapped on the pads, umpire raised his finger, Dhoni went for the review. Minute spikes on UltraEdge as the ball passes the bat, but the umpire deems it inconclusive to overturn the decision. CSK are 8-down!CSK 75/8 (15.3)
- 20:45 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: Hooda gone!The Impact Player change has failed miserably. Deepak Hooda departs, Varun Chakravarthy gets his second wicket. A nothing shot by the out-of-form batter, and Vaibhav Arora takes a sharp diving catch at mid-wicket. And here comes Dhoni!CSK 72/7 (14.2)
- 20:40 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: OUT! Impact Player!GONE! Jadeja tries to go for a cut, gets a soft edge and a sharp catch taken by Quinton de Kock. Sunil Narine gets his second wicket. And still no MS Dhoni! Deepak Hooda has walked in as the Impact Player at No. 8. That means no Matheesha Pathirana for CSK's bowling department today.CSK 71/6 (14)
- 20:33 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: Ashwin OUT!OUT! Ravichandran Ashwin looked totally uncomfortable at the crease, and departs for a 7-ball 1. Four dots in a row against Harshit Rana, tries to go big on the last ball of the over, but the timing is lacking. Harshit gets his second wicket.KKR 70/5 (12.5)
- 20:28 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: Ashwin promotedRavichandran Ashwin has been promoted up the order, and sent in to bat at No. 6, ahead of Dhoni and Jadeja. Dhoni batted as high as No. 5 in the previous game for CSK, so this is a unique strategy taken by the men in yellow.Meanwhile, Moeen Ali completes his spell. 1/20 in 4 overs. Job well done.CSK 69/4 (12)
- 20:26 (IST)
- 20:19 (IST)CSK vs KKR LIVE: OUT!KKR finally get the wicket of Vijay Shankar! Varun Chakravarthy strikes. Shankar looks to go for the big shot, but does not get the full connection on it. Straight to Moeen Ali and deep square leg. KKR get their third wicket inside the first 10 overs.KKR 59/3 (9.4)
