Having won the toss, KKR decided to bat first and put up a fighting 179/6 in 20 overs. The match began with Rahmanullah Gurbaz playing freely, making 11 off 9, before he was out early to a quick catch by Noor Ahmad off Anshul Kamboj.

Noor was brilliant once again, tearing down the KKR middle-order with his deceptive variations. He picked up four vital wickets, Narine, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Andre Russell, and Rinku Singh, ending on 4/31. With this effort, he reached a season total of 20 wickets, becoming the joint highest wicket-taker of IPL 2025. Despite a late unbeaten 36 by Manish Pandey, KKR failed to cross the 180-run mark.
Brevis’ blistering 52 sets the tone before Dhoni-Kamboj duo seal the chase
In response, CSK started shakily by losing both openers, Ayush Mhatre and Devon Conway, without giving them a run. Then Dewald Brevis put CSK back on track with his aggressive 52 off 25, ably supported by a gritty 45 from Shivam Dube. The middle order teetered again, but the perennial wall, MS Dhoni 17*off 18, kept his cool with pressure, leading his side towards victory.
With only 8 runs required off the last over, Anshul Kamboj showed nerves in combination with Dhoni to finish the chase, winning a close 2-wicket victory for CSK.
Vaibhav Arora was KKR’s best bowler, taking 3/48, while Varun Chakaravarthy and Harshit Rana added two wickets each.
