After a shaky start to the 2026 IPL season, Chennai Super Kings have finally found their rhythm. The five-time champions, who began their campaign with three consecutive defeats, are now showing signs of a strong comeback with back-to-back wins.
Their latest victory came against a struggling Kolkata Knight Riders side that continues to search for form this season. Opting to bat first, Chennai put up an imposing total of 196 runs, thanks to solid contributions from Sanju Samson, Ayush Mhatre, and Dewald Brevis, who anchored the innings with confidence.
Chasing 197, Kolkata Knight Riders never looked in control. Their batting lacked intent and consistency, eventually finishing at 160, handing Chennai a comfortable 30-run win.
This result gives Chennai Super Kings a much-needed push in the points table, with two wins now under their belt. Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders remain rooted to the bottom, still winless after five matches.
Though Chennai are currently placed eighth, their recent resurgence suggests a potential turnaround. With the expected return of MS Dhoni, the team could gain further stability and experience as they aim to climb higher in the standings.
