IPL 2025: 5 records broken during CSK’s close 2-wicket win over KKR in Match 57

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) spoiled Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) party by handing the defending champions a defeat at Eden Gardens on Wednesday, May 7. The two teams squared off in the 57th match of the ongoing IPL 2025.

CSK started strong, thanks to Urvil Patel, but KKR bowlers disrupted their momentum by taking quick wickets. Nonetheless, Dewald Brevis revitalised the innings with a brilliant half-century, bringing them closer to the target.

His dismissal created some challenges in the middle, but a composed innings by Shivam Dube, followed by MS Dhoni’s late cameo, helped CSK secure their third win of the season. KKR are now left reeling in sixth place on the points table with 11 points, with two games remaining in their campaign.
