Kolkata Knight Riders registered their second loss of IPL 2019 as their losing streak at the MA Chidambaram stadium continued. The last time Kolkata won against Chennai at Chepauk was in 2012 when they beat CSK to win their maiden IPL title.
Chasing a paltry total of 109 to win, Chennai got to the score inside 17.2 overs to continue their winning run at Chepauk. This is their 16th straight win at the venue.
This win takes them to the top of the points table with 10 points from 5 games. After the end of the game, MS Dhoni in the post-match presentation spoke about how batting became easy in the second innings as the dew played a part.
On the other hand, he also spoke about how the pitches need to better while addressing the fact that his batters also faced problems in playing the moving ball.
Both these teams play in 5 days time, at the Eden Gardens on Sunday, April 14.
Meanwhile, here is how Twitter reacted to CSK topping the table and KKR losing their second match of the season.
