Chennai Super Kings: Left-arm wrist-spinner Noor Ahmad picked an exceptional 4-31 while Dewald Brevis’ hit a whirlwind 22-ball fifty as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by two wickets in a thrilling IPL 2025 clash at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday.
On a slow pitch, Noor’s spell helped CSK restrict KKR to 179/6, in return the five-time champions were reduced to 60/5. Brevis stepped up to hit 52 off 25 balls, hitting four fours and as many sixes, as CSK chased down 180 with two balls to spare. He was well-supported by Shivam Dube making 45 off 40 balls, as CSK landed a big blow on KKR’s chances of entering playoffs.
Skipper Ajinkya Rahane top-scored with 48 off 33 balls while Andre Russell and Sunil Narine chipped in with 38 and 26 respectively. But CSK’s spin-squeeze, led by Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Noor’s four-fer ensured KKR did not cross the 180-run mark.
