IPL 2026 CSK vs KKR Live Cricket Score, Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Today Match Live Updates: Chennai Super Kings are right on top with Kolkata Knight Riders going nowhere in their chase of 193.

Noor Ahmad picked three wickets in his four overs while Akeal Hossein is gave just 26 runs away in his four. Their only problem now is that these were their two main spinners and they are both done with all their overs, with Rovman Powell and Ramandeep Singh out there for KKR.
