CSK Crumble to Lowest-Ever Home Total as Sunil Narine Wreaks Havoc at Chepauk
April 11, 2025 |
In a night to forget at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) registered their lowest-ever total at home, managing just 103/9 in 20 overs against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 25 of IPL 2025. On a day that marked MS Dhoni’s return to captaincy, the iconic wicketkeeper-batter was dismissed for just 1 run, batting at an unusual No. 9 position.

KKR spinners were on top throughout the innings. Sunil Narine led the attack with 3/15, including the prized wicket of Dhoni. Varun Chakravarthy and Harshit Rana also chipped in with two wickets each, as the Chepauk crowd witnessed a rare CSK collapse.

Only Shivam Dube showed resistance, scoring a gritty 31, ensuring CSK avoided their all-time lowest IPL score of 79.
Innings Summary:
CSK 103/9 (20 overs)
Top scorer: Shivam Dube (31)
Best bowlers: Narine 3/15, Chakravarthy 2/17, Harshit Rana 2/16
CSK lost early wickets and never recovered. Promoting Ravichandran Ashwin and using Deepak Hooda as an Impact Player didn’t help either. Even Dhoni’s presence couldn’t stabilize the innings as he was trapped LBW by Narine and dismissed after a failed DRS call.
This match now marks CSK’s worst-ever batting display at home, surpassing their previous lowest of 109 vs Mumbai Indians in 2019.
KKR need just 104 runs to secure their third win of the season.
