KKR vs CSK: In the 57th match of the IPL 2025, KKR was defeated by CSK, effectively ending KKR’s playoff chances.
KKR, after winning the toss, decided to bat first, and the opener of KKR, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, hit a few shots in the initial overs to give the start to the team, but his innings ended in the 2nd over with a score of 11 runs. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane and Sunil Narine partnered after that to take the score to 69 runs. Both batters were scoring runs until the spell of Noor Ahmad started, as in his first over, he picked up the wicket of Sunil Narine and Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Rahane was approaching his fifty, but wrong shot selection led to his dismissal. Andre Russell hit 38 runs before getting out, and that helped KKR put 179 runs on the board at the end of 20 overs.
Chasing the target of 180 runs, CSK’s start wasn’t good as Ayush Mhatre got out in the 2nd delivery of the first over on a duck. Urvil Patel, who was playing his debut match, entertained the crowd with his electrifying 31 runs, while Devon Conway got out. CSK was 60-5 inside the powerplay. Dewald Brevis took charge after that and didn’t let the run rate slow down; he hit Vaibhav Arora for 30 runs in an over to score his fifty. Varun Chakravarthy dismissed him on 52 runs, but he did his job to close the chase gap, and Shivam Dube capitalized on that to take the innings forward with MS Dhoni. In the final over when 8 runs were required in 6 balls, Dhoni hit a six to make it easy for his team to chase the target as CSK won the match by 2 wickets.

IPL 2025, Match 57th, KKR vs CSK: Captains’ Corner
It was a really tough (pill to swallow and lose). We were 10-15 short, 185-195 would have been an ideal total (on this pitch). Bowlers bowled really well, but tough to be on the losing side. (On if the 30-run over was the difference) Absolutely. In this format, it is bound to happen. One over here and there can change the momentum. They (Brevis and Dube) took their chances and it paid off. All about being brave and they were really brave. No complaints at all, the bowlers tried their best. (On how they approach the next few games) Pretty simple. Try to win two out of two, and then see what happens from there.

There were a few things that did not go our way. You could get emotional about it, talk about the pride factor but you have to be practical about it. just concentrating about where the 25 players could fit. Want to be competitive but you also want answers – which batter can fit where, which bowler can bowl where, according to the conditions and all. When we started, hardly anyone was scoring. Good to see the batters have intent, important to back yourself and play the shots that you think are your shots. These are the players that are part of our squad right now, so we have an opportunity test them. We are out of the tournament, so you give them a chance, see how they react. It is the approach, the mental toughness that you want to check. The most technically-correct batter does not always score the runs, if you have good awareness…there is a chance to be consistent. Thanks to Brevis, he gave us that luxury (to take it deep). Did not want to give wickets to Sunil and Varun. It was holding for the spinners, but for the pacers, it was not that great and difficult for them to get away.
