After back-to-back defeats, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) finally got back to winning ways. The Men in Yellow thrashed the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by seven wickets in Match 22 of IPL 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk on Monday, April 8.
A splendid bowling effort served the match on a platter for CSK, who restricted the Knight Riders to just 137/9 in the first innings. None of the KKR batters breached even the 35-run mark.
It proved to be an easy chase for the hosts, with Ruturaj Gaikwad smashing a brilliant 67* off 58 deliveries. KKR bowlers failed to extract enough help from the surface that was slightly sluggish, to say the least.
