Chennai Super Kings are going through a torrid time in IPL 2025, and have won just two out of their eight games so far. Their batting has faltered throughout the season, and the same thing happened in the match 43 of IPL 2025 against SRH, where they could muster only 154 runs.

CSK Look At Glorious Past To Find Inspiration Against SRH

Their bowlers now need to show their class if they want to defend the target, and it would be quite a comeback if they manage to do it. The match is being played at the CSK's home ground, Chepauk, and the pitch tends to assist bowlers more often than not. So, let's look at the lowest totals defended by CSK at the Chepauk.

The lowest total ever defended by CSK at the Chepauk is 134, and it came against KKR in IPL 2015. The second lowest total defended by Chennai Super Kings came way back in 2011 when they did not let Pune Warriors India chase down the target of 143. In the 2025 season, they also defended the totals of 148 and 150 while the fifth lowest total defended was 152 against Kochi Tuskers in IPL 2011.

Top 5 Lowest Totals Defended By CSK At Chepauk

  • CSK vs KKR - Total Defended 134/6 in IPL 2015
  • CSK vs Pune Warriors India - Total Defended 142/6 in IPL 2011
  • CSK vs RCB - Total Defended 148/9 in IPL 2015
  • CSK vs DD - Total Defended 150/7 in IPL 2015
  • CSK vs Kochi Tuskers - Total Defended 152/5 in IPL 2011

Thus, CSK have defended plenty of low totals at the Chepauk in their rich history, and they could do it again against SRH. However, for all that to happen, they would need their bowling group to deliver as a unit, and MS Dhoni has to unleash his vintage captaincy masterclass.
