Noor Stars as Chennai Keep Kolkata Winless in IPL

On Tuesday, Chennai Super Kings defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 32 runs at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, securing their second victory of IPL 2026.
Chennai posted 192/5 after being invited to bat first, powered by Sanju Samson's 48 and Dewald Brevis's 41; Kolkata's chase faltered despite a 50-run stand between skipper Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi.
Player of the Match Noor Ahmad dismantled Kolkata's middle order with figures of 3/21 in four overs, triggering a collapse that left the team at 90/6 before finishing at 160/7.
Both teams wore black armbands during the match to honor former India cricketer C.D. Gopinath, who passed away at age 96; Kolkata captain Rahane was fined INR 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate.
Chennai climbs to eighth in the points table after back-to-back wins, while Kolkata remains winless in five outings and travels to Ahmedabad on Friday to face Gujarat Titans.
