Chennai Super Kings have crashed to another upset in the ongoing Indian Premier League after they were handed an eight-wicket defeat by Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday at MA Chidambaram Stadium. CSK recorded their lowest-ever IPL total at home, tumbling to 103/9 in 20 overs. 

Opting to field first, KKR restricted CSK to a modest total of 103 runs. Vijay Shankar and Shivam Dube were the standout performers for CSK, contributing 29 and 31* runs, respectively. For KKR, Sunil Narine took three wickets, while Varun Chakravarthy and Harshit Rana took two wickets each.

Meanwhile, chasing a seemingly straightforward target, KKR achieved the required runs in just 10.1 overs.  Openers Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine played pivotal roles in this swift chase, ensuring a great start with their scores of 23 and 44, respectively. After their departure, skipper Ajinkya Rahane and Rinku Singh remained unbeaten on 20 and 15 respectively, to take the side over the line.
