Kolkata Knight Riders Suffer First Defeat

The defeat against Chennai Super Kings marked Kolkata Knight Riders’ first loss of the IPL 2024 season after enjoying three consecutive victories. Despite their strong start to the campaign, the two-time champions faltered against CSK’s formidable bowling performance, failing to maintain their winning streak.

CSK’s successful chase was spearheaded by skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, whose unbeaten 67-run innings guided the team to victory. Gaikwad’s resilient batting performance and a crucial 70-run partnership with Daryl Mitchell (25) enabled Chennai Super Kings to bounce back from two previous defeats and secure a vital win over Kolkata Knight Riders.
