Chennai Super Kings' turbulent run in IPL 2025 hit a new low with their fifth consecutive defeat, this time at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders at Chepauk.

MS Dhoni's return as captain raised hopes of a turnaround, but instead, CSK delivered one of their most disappointing performances of the season - posting their lowest-ever total at home and dropping further in the standings.

CSK Collapse at Chepauk

In match 25 of the tournament, KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and elected to field first. CSK's batting crumbled under pressure, managing just 103/9 in their 20 overs.
