After 683 days, Mahendra Singh Dhoni's return as captain also could not change the fate of Chennai Super Kings. Chennai, who has already lost 4 consecutive matches in the season, has now faced defeat for the fifth time. Chennai has suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of current champions Kolkata Knight Riders at its home ground Chepock Stadium. In this match, the entire batting unit of Chennai, including Dhoni, performed the worst of this season and could only score 103 runs. KKR achieved his third win by achieving this goal within just 10 overs.

Fans of Chennai hoped that from Friday 11 April, his team's season would turn the turn and return on the path of victory. The reason for this was that Dhoni was again commanded in his hands, who had shown magic for the team many times in the last 17 years. But it seems that even at the age of 43, Dhoni did not have the magic to change the situation of the team.

CSK's shameful batting in Chepock

From the beginning of this season, Chennai's batting was seen continuously struggling, in which the team had to face more problems while chasing. This time Chennai got a chance to bat first but the story did not change and the entire team could score only 103 runs in 20 overs. The condition was worse in Chennai and 9 wickets had fallen by just 79 runs, but in the end Shivam Dubey put some big shots and brought the team to 100. Apart from him, Vijay Shankar scored 29 runs fast. However, despite this, it proved to be Chennai's smallest score in Chepock. Spin Trikri of Kolkata took 6 wickets out of 9, in which Sunil Naren got 3, Varun Chakraborty got 2 and Moin Ali got 1 wicket.

KKR wins in just 61 balls

Seeing Chennai's innings, if someone felt that the pitch was slow and the batting was difficult, then the Kolkata openers also removed this misunderstanding. Quinton Dickock (23) and Sunil Naren made a stormy start of 46 runs in just 4 overs. Fast bowler Anshul Kamboj, playing his first match for CSK, dismissed Dickock. But it also had no effect because Kolkata captain Ajinkya Rahane (20 not out) attacked as soon as Naren kept blowing fours and sixes. Naren (44) was dismissed before completing the half -century but Rinku Singh (15 not out) and Rahane together won the team in just 10.1 overs.
