Chennai Super Kings pulled off a thrilling 2-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders with just two balls to spare in a high-scoring encounter at Eden Gardens. Chasing 180, CSK were rocked early at 60/5, but Dewald Brevis' explosive 52 off 25 balls and Shivam Dube’s steady 45 gave them a strong platform. MS Dhoni’s calm 17* and debutant Anshul Kamboj’s boundary under pressure sealed the win in dramatic fashion.


Earlier, KKR posted a competitive 179/6, led by Ajinkya Rahane’s 48 and late fireworks from Andre Russell, who smashed 38 off 21. Noor Ahmad starred with the ball for CSK, claiming 4/31 to restrict KKR.

WICKET!! Harshit Rana delivered another impactful over for KKR, removing Ravichandran Ashwin with a soft dismissal to backward point, handing CSK their fourth blow inside five overs. Promoting Ashwin up the order backfired as he departed for just 1.


Ravindra Jadeja tried to steady the innings with a counter-punch, hitting a powerful six over mid-wicket and following it up with a late-cut four.

However, Moeen Ali had the final say in the over as he cleaned up Devon Conway with a beautiful arm ball that sneaked through bat and pad. Conway was dismissed for a duck, continuing his lean season. With both CSK openers back in the pavilion for zero, Ravichandran Ashwin was promoted up the order and is now on strike...!!


CSK: 25/2 (2.0)



21:22 (GMT) May 07

Arora started with a dot ball and struck with his second, sending back Mhatre early. Debutant Urvil Patel walked in at No. 3 and showed promise, opening his IPL account in style with a six off his second ball. He followed it with a wide and a single, ending the over on 7 runs with one wicket down for CSK...

KKR vs CSK Live: Eden Gardens Pitch Report!🏏

The surface at Eden Gardens in Kolkata has favoured the batters, as evidenced by the average scoring rate of 9.90 at the venue this season. However, considering the heatwave across the country, the pitch could be slightly two-paced, as it has been the case with several other IPL 2025 venues of late.


In such a scenario, the ball might hold up a bit after pitching around the hard length. Meanwhile, the spinners could get some turn in the middle overs. Overall, a decent batting deck with some assistance for the bowlers is expected in Kolkata.
