In a disappointing match on April 10, 2025, held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, India, the Chennai Super Kings faced Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2025. The Super Kings struggled to score, ending their innings with a mere 103 runs for 9 wickets, marking one of their lowest totals at home in IPL history. Sunil Narine's exceptional performance with both bat and ball played a significant role in Kolkata's easy victory. This loss marked CSK's fifth consecutive defeat, leaving them just above the last-place team in the standings. Following this troubling performance, captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who took over leadership in absence of Ruturaj Gaikwad, saw his team failing to get on track despite his efforts. KKR's bowlers dominated the game, particularly Narine, who took 3 wickets for just 13 runs, paired with crucial contributions from Varun Chakravarthy and Moeen Ali, resulting in a tight bowling display that restricted the opposition. Meanwhile, Kumar's aggressive batting saw Kolkata reach their target of 107 runs in just over 10 overs, securing an eight-wicket win.
