The IPL 2025 season might have ended on a disappointing note for Chennai Super Kings, but the Men in Yellow still managed to script a historic milestone that underlines their legacy in the IPL.

Despite finishing at the bottom of the table, CSK ended their campaign with a resounding 83-run win over Gujarat Titans, and in doing so, set a new benchmark in the league's history.

Known for their tactical discipline and strong bowling unit, CSK showcased their vintage style one last time in IPL 2025 with a complete performance that combined powerful hitting and disciplined bowling. The batting unit, led by Devon Conway and Dewald Brevis, put up a towering score of 230, while the bowlers executed their plans perfectly to choke the Titans' chase and secure a morale-boosting win.

The match was also significant as it saw contributions from emerging players like Ayush Mhatre and Urvil Patel, who added vital runs in the middle and lower order. On the bowling front, left-arm spinner Noor Ahmad and youngster Anshul Kamboj delivered excellent spells to dismantle the opposition and seal the emphatic result.

CSK create Unique Record

That win not only ended CSK's season on a high but also helped them create a new IPL record.

Chennai Super Kings now have the most wins while defending 200-plus totals in IPL history. They have done it 22 times, maintaining a win percentage of 81%the best among all teams who have defended such scores multiple times. The next best are Royal Challengers Bengaluru with 21 wins (78%), followed by Mumbai Indians with 17 wins (100%), Sunrisers Hyderabad with 16 wins (89%), and Kolkata Knight Riders with 15 wins (79%).

This record further reinforces CSK's reputation as a tactically sound and fiercely competitive side when defending big scores.

Even in a season where they struggled for consistency, this achievement becomes a shining reminder of the team's historical strengths and ability to rise on the big days.

As the franchise looks ahead to IPL 2026, this record provides hope and inspiration. With seasoned campaigners like MS Dhoni still leading from the front and promising young players stepping up, CSK will aim to regroup and come back stronger in the next edition.
