Making his IPL debut, Urvil Patel announced himself in style, blasting 31 off just 11 balls, featuring one four and four sixes. His fearless aggression in the powerplay overs provided CSK with much-needed early momentum. His explosive innings came to an end when Vaibhav Arora delivered a well-directed ball that finally broke through.

Despite their current form, CSK has traditionally dominated KKR in head-to-head matchups and will look to continue that trend.

Kolkata Knight Riders' hopes of reaching the Indian Premier League play-offs suffered a significant blow as the 2024 champions were upset by Chennai Super Kings. Defending 180, KKR reduced already-eliminated CSK to 60-5 inside the powerplay in their chase.
