Last Updated: May 08, 2025, 01:17 ISTIPL 2025 Playoffs Scenario: Chennai Super Kings defeated Kolkata Knight Riders in a thrilling match. Dhoni confirmed the team’s victory by hitting a six on the first ball in the last over. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a thrilling match at Eden Gardens on Wednesday (May 7). The team, which was winning three consecutive matches, got a big shock from the defeat. Chennai spoiled the Kolkata playoffs equation. Thanks to captain Ajinkya Rahane’s 48 runs, the team scored 179 runs for 6 wickets. CSK achieved 180 runs with two balls by hitting a six in the last over of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The Chennai team had very poor start against Kolkata and lost 6 wickets for just 127 runs. Dewald Brevis made the team a comeback in the match match of 52 runs in 25 balls. Shivam Dubey’s innings of 45 runs snatched Kolkata’s match. In the last over, the team needed 8 runs and Mahendra Singh Dhoni hit a six on the first ball. Anshul Kamboj finished the match with a four on the fourth ball. The equation of KKR’s playoffs has made the expectations of the current champions KKR to make it to the top-4. KKR now has 11 points in 12 matches and only two matches are left in group stage. If the Anghar team also wins all the matches, then they can reach more than 15 points. Even two wins will not guarantee the qualification. After the victory, the team will have to expect that both the remaining matches against the Mumbai Indians (Mi) Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) lose their remaining matches. Apart from this, they have to expect that DC team lost by a big margin against PBKS and GT and then defeat Mi on 15 May. Viplove Kumar15 active in sports journalism for more than more than years.
