Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have turned their season around with two consecutive wins after a slow start, while Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are struggling in the ongoing IPL 2026. CSK’s victory over KKR by 32 runs showcased their dominance, with Noor Ahmad’s impressive performance standing out. Ahmad’s exceptional bowling figures of 3/21 disrupted KKR’s batting lineup, including dismissing key players like Ajinkya Rahane and Cameron Green.
Green, who was bought for a record price, has failed to deliver for KKR both with the bat and ball. Despite trying various strategies like changing the batting order, KKR has been unable to secure a win in the tournament so far. CSK’s strong batting performance, led by Sanju Samson and Dewald Brevis, set a challenging target for KKR, who struggled to keep up with the required run rate.
KKR’s spinners tried to contain CSK’s scoring, but CSK’s steady innings ensured a comfortable victory. With this win, CSK now has momentum on their side, while KKR faces an uphill battle to turn their fortunes around in the IPL 2026 season.
