KKR Crushes CSK with Dominant All-Round Show in IPL 2025

CSK’s Struggle with the Bat

CSK, batting first, faced serious trouble right from the start. Their top order couldn’t get going, and wickets kept tumbling throughout the innings. The pressure from KKR’s bowlers made it hard for CSK to find boundaries or build any partnerships.

Despite trying to stabilize the innings, the home team could only manage 103 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in their full 20 overs—a total well below par on this pitch.

KKR’s Bowlers Take Control

KKR’s bowlers set the tone with disciplined lines and variations. Each bowler played their part in choking the run flow and picking up timely wickets. It was a complete team effort with the ball, leaving CSK with no room to bounce back.

KKR’s Batters Finish It in Style

In reply, KKR's batting unit came out with a clear plan—attack from the start. The openers gave a blazing start, and even after losing a couple of wickets, the chase was never in doubt. They reached the target of 104 in just 10.1 overs, losing only 2 wickets.

The aggressive intent and smart shot selection made it a one-sided contest in the end.

What This Means for Both Teams

• KKR: This win gives KKR a strong boost in the points table and confidence going forward in the season.

• CSK: For CSK, it's a wake-up call. Their batting needs serious fixing, and they’ll have to regroup quickly before their next game.
