MS Dhoni-led CSK register third win of IPL 2025 season

MS Dhoni-led CSK registered only their third win of the IPL 2025 season as they beat KKR. Batting first, the home team posted a challenging total of 179/6 on the board.

Notably, CSK had not won a single game chasing 180 or more since the 2019 edition of the league, However, they rewrote history in Kolkata this time around. They lost both their openers, Ayush Mhatre and Devon Conway, for ducks and were reduced to 60/5 at one stage.

Given how disastrous their season has been, it appeared as though it would be another game where CSK would stumble to defeat. But young Dewald Brevis took the attack to the opposition, smashing a quick-fire 52 off just 25 balls, hitting four boundaries and as many sixes at a strike-rate of 208.

He was well supported by Shivam Dube, who scored 45 runs off 40 balls and held one end strong. It was that partnership that changed the course of the game. Dhoni then remained unbeaten on 17 in the end as Chennai overhauled the target in 19.4 overs.
