CSK Win By Two Wickets | KKR vs CSK Highlights of IPL 2025: Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube Bring Back Chennai Super Kings to Winning Ways

That's It! Chennai Super Kings return to winning ways. They have chased down the total even after being five down in the powerplay. Kolkata Knight Riders are unofficially on the brink of elimination now as they can have 15 points at max. CSK were five wickets down in the powerplay and needed something special to win. Dewald Brevis powered them ahead and they did enough to close the game down. 

Shivam Dube keeps getting boundaries in every over and keep the chase in control. CSK are comfortably ahead in the game and they need to do a real slip up to lose it from here on. KKR has all their key bowlers bowled out now. Shivam Dube will look to finish things up soon. 

Thirty runs from one over. Once again this time and it comes off Vaibhav Arora's bowling. Dewald Brevis gets dropped first ball as he goes down the ground and the ball bursts through the hands of Angkrish Raghuvanshi. After that it was never stopping Brevis. Hits thirty runs off the over and completes his half-century. CSK are ahead in the game now. 

Out! Again runs and wickets. Ravindra Jadeja hits Varun Chakaravarthy for a straight four and in the next ball he drags it on to his stumps. Big breakthrough for Kolkata Knight Riders as he was looking good. Dewald Brevis and Shivam Dube are on the crease and look to keep up momentum with boundaries. Jadeja b Varun Chakaravarthy 19(10).

Out! This has been the powerplay so far. Chennai Super Kings has found boundaries, but Kolkata Knight Riders have responded with wickets. First Harshit Rana makes Urvil Patel go for a lofted shot over covers and edge to the hands of the flying slip. Then Harshit Rana foxes Ravichandran Ashwin to play a lofted drive to the hands of point. Boundaries and more wickets. Jadeja b Varun Chakaravarthy 19(10).

Out! Eventful second over. First Urvil Patel brings back flashes of Riyan Parag from last match, hitting Moeen Ali for three boundaries in a row with two sixes. But Moeen comes back strong cleaning up Devon Conway. Earlier, Vaibhav Arora had Ayush Mhatre dismissed with the youngster hitting one straight to the hands of the cover fielder. Ayush Mhatre c Harshit Rana b Vaibhav Arora 0(2) and Conway b Moeen Ali 0(2).

Fantastic last over from Matheesha Pathirana. Bowls three balls pace on at the start and then three slower Yorkers. Neither of Manish Pandey and Ramandeep Singh could get them away and they settled for six singles off six balls. Chennai Super Kings will be happy with their bowling effort. KKR will need to show some real good bowling performance to defend this.  

Out! The power-packed knock comes to an end. It is Noor Ahmad who shines in both cases. First he bowls a short of length ball, Andre Russell tries to go over the head of the bowler, doesn't get the entire of it and Dewald Brevis takes a nice diving catch. In his next over, Noor bowls short again, Rinku tries to take him on over the square leg but Ayush Mhatre takes a very good catch. CSK again using spin to take control. Rinku Singh c Ayush Mhatre b Noor Ahmad 9(6) and  Russell c Brevis b Noor Ahmad 38(21).

Out! Another wicket. The pressure is talking now. Wicket boundaries not coming from either end, Ajinkya Rahane had to go for the reverse sweep and he miscues it to the hands of the point fielder. It is the wicket of a set batter and CSK are elated. Their spinners have controlled things till now. Rahane c Conway b Jadeja 48(33).

Out! Back-to-back wickets in one over. Noor Ahmad delivers once again. Takes it away from Angkrish Raghuvanshi and the latter tried to dab it through the point region for a single. Gets a faint nick and MS Dhoni takes a very good catch. KKR's struggles against spin continue.  Angkrish Raghuvanshi c Dhoni b Noor Ahmad 1(2).
