Chennai’s Eden coup hits Kolkata’s Playoff hopes; Noor Ahmad jumps up in Purple Cap r

IPL 2025 Points Table After KKR vs CSK Match Update: Kolkata Knight Riders’  hopes of making the Playoffs suffered a massive blow as they slipped up against league laggards Chennai Super Kings who regered only their third win in 12 matches this season at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday evening.
Chasing a 180-run target, MS Dhoni’s men crossed the finish line with two wickets to spare in the final over on the back of impactful knocks from Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, and debutant Urvil Patel. The loss meant KKR remained on 11 points and was in danger of missing out on a Playoff spot. The cut-off mark is likely to go past the 15-point mark, which is the highest attainable target for Ajinkya Rahane’s men from their remaining fixtures.
