IPL 2026, CSK vs KKR Live Cricket Score: Chennai hope Dube gives them late boost

IPL 2026 CSK vs KKR Live Cricket Score, Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Today Match Live Updates: Chennai Super Kings got off to a strong start at the Chepauk Stadium after being put to bat first by the Kolkata Knight Riders. However, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy then got them to slow things down after the powerplay. Young Kartik Tyagi then got the big wicket of Sanju Samson when the latter was two runs away from reaching 50.

Ajinkya Rahane earlier won the toss and said that Kolkata Knight Riders will bowl first. KKR are looking to get off the mat, having been winless four games into the season. They will also be looking to put behind a rather crushing defeat that they suffered to Lucknow Super Giants in their last match, in which they pretty much snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory.

CSK broke out of the wretched run they found themselves in by beating the Delhi Capitals at home in their previous match. The victory pushed KKR right to the bottom of the table, with the three-time champions having just one point four matches this season.
