Chennai Super Kings Clinch Thrilling Victory Over KKR in Final Over Chase

In a high-octane encounter, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) edged past Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) with a dramatic two-wicket win, chasing down 180 with just two balls to spare. Powered by explosive cameos from Dewald Brevis (52 off 25) and Shivam Dube (45 off 40), CSK reached 183/8 in 19.4 overs, sealing a nail-biting finish.

 

Despite early setbacks with both openers Ayush Mhatre and Devon Conway departing without scoring, CSK staged a strong comeback. Urvil Patel (31 off 11) set the tone with a fiery knock, while Varun Chakaravarthy’s disciplined spell (4-0-18-2) posed a mid-innings hurdle.

 

KKR's bowlers, led by Harshit Rana (4-0-43-2) and Vaibhav Arora (3-0-48-3), made regular breakthroughs. However, a crucial 52-run partnership between Brevis and Dube shifted the momentum. MS Dhoni chipped in with a steady 17 before Anshul Kamboj finished things off with a boundary.

 

Earlier, KKR posted 179/6 in 20 overs—a competitive total that just fell short. With this win, CSK continues to build momentum in the tournament, showcasing their batting depth and resilience under pressure.
