The dream end of Kolkata Knight Riders ended today when Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings defeated Ganguly’s Kolkata Knight Riders by 55 runs.

Batting first, CSK got to a pretty slow start but managed to score 164/3 in 20 overs thank to a superb knock by Dhoni ( 66 runs of just 33 balls).

The current form of Kolkata Knight Riders should have made it very easy to chase that target but Dhoni’s CSK bowlers were in no mood to give it away so easy. Kolkata Knight Riders lost the first wicket in the very first over and from there on the wickets started to fell like a pile of cards. Not even a single batsmen could take the charge and save the match for KKR. Kolkata Knight Riders were struggling at 69/6 in the 11th over and it looked all over for them. They crossed 100 run mark in 17th over but had lost 9 wickets to get that. Kolkata Knight Riders dream run on the path of victory was atlast halted by Chennai Super Kings.

Chennai Super Kings bundled Kolkata Knight Riders for just 109/10.
