On Friday, April 11, CSK registered a new low as the Men in Yellow suffered an embarrassing defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders at Chepauk Stadium. Notably, the Men in Yellow, batting first, registered their lowest total at Chepauk Stadium as they tumbled for just 103 runs.
It was a poor show by the MS Dhoni-led side, and they went on to script several unwanted records. Meanwhile, this article will shed light on three embarrassing records scripted by CSK.
