A match wrapped under tensions, mock drills and bomb threats, yet Eden Gardens did not fail to produce a thriller. The hundredth match of Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens, their home ground, slipped away as CSK won by 2 wickets. When it could have just been another "MS Dhoni finishes off in style," Anshul Khamboj hit the final sixer and won it with two balls remaining. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) posted a competitive total of 179/6 in 20 overs against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The innings saw contributions from several key players, with Ajinkya Rahane leading the charge with 48 runs off 33 balls, including four boundaries and two sixes at a strike rate of 145.45. Sunil Narine added 26 runs off 17 balls, while Andre Russell blasted 38 runs from just 21 balls at a blistering strike rate of 180.95. Rahmanullah Gurbaz, the opening batsman, made 11 runs, and Rinku Singh contributed 9 runs before falling to Noor Ahmad. Manish Pandey remained unbeaten on 36 from 28 balls. Noor Ahmad was the standout bowler for CSK, picking up four wickets for 31 runs in his four overs, including key dismissals of Narine, Raghuvanshi, Russell, and Singh. Ravindra Jadeja claimed one wicket for 34 runs in his four overs. Anshul Kamboj also contributed with a wicket but was expensive, conceding 38 runs in three overs. KKR's total came at a healthy run rate of 8.95, but the team will need to defend it effectively against CSK’s formidable batting lineup.

Ayush Mhatre and Devon Conway both went for ducks. Ravichandran Ashwin scored 8 runs, while Ravindra Jadeja added 19 runs. Urvil had a great start, hitting three sixes in the first three balls of his IPL career. However, his innings was short-lived; he scored 31 runs in 11 balls. It was the replacement buy for Chennai Super Kings, Dewald Brevis, whose fast half-century eased the chase for the Yellow Army. And there came Shivam Dube. The man added 45 runs off 40 balls before getting dismissed while trying to hit a slot ball from Arora. The big man, MS Dhoni, added 17 runs from 18 balls and hit a boundary after Dube's departure. KKR’s bowlers struggled despite Varun Chakravarthy’s tight 4-0-18-2. Vaibhav Arora took 3 wickets but leaked 48 runs in 3 overs. Harshit Rana claimed 2 but remained expensive. Moeen, Narine, and Russell couldn't apply pressure, as CSK chased 180 with two balls to spare in a tense finish.
