This win marks a major turnaround for the defending champions, while KKR stays winless after five matches, declining at the underside of the points table. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">After being put in to bat, CSK posted a formidable <\/span><span class=\"s1\">192\/5<\/span><span class=\"s2\">, due to a mix of youthful aggression and experienced anchoring. The CSK innings was ignited by young opener <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Ayush Mhatre<\/span><span class=\"s2\">, who played a blistering cameo of <\/span><span class=\"s1\">38 runs off just 17 balls<\/span><span class=\"s2\">, striking at a remarkable <\/span><span class=\"s1\">223.53<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">His knock, which included <\/span><span class=\"s1\">six boundaries and two sixes<\/span><span class=\"s2\">, set the proper tone within the Powerplay. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Sanju Samson<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> provided the backbone of the innings, top-scoring with a well-constructed <\/span><span class=\"s1\">48 off 32 balls<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> (4 fours, 3 sixes), while <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Dewald Brevis<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> made a successful return to the side with an impactful <\/span><span class=\"s1\">41 off 29 deliveries<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">KKR\u2019s bowling struggled to contain the flow of runs, though <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Kartik Tyagi<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> claimed <\/span><span class=\"s1\">2 for 35<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> and veteran <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Sunil Narine<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> remained economical with figures of <\/span><span class=\"s1\">1 for 21<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> in his 4 overs. Defending 192, CSK\u2019s bowling attack, led by their spinners, proved to be too clinical for a struggling KKR lineup. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Listed below are some twitter reactions:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sanju Samson proves again why he\u2019s special \ud83d\udc51<br \/>\ud83d\udcaf vs DC<br \/>48 vs KKR<br \/>Top scorer of the match for the consecutive inns<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the way you make a comeback \ud83d\udc80 <br \/>When Sanju clicks, he\u2019s not only a batter he\u2019s a game-changer consecutive wins for CSK\ud83d\udca5.<\/p>\n<p>Respect the grind \ud83e\udee1 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CSKvsKKR?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CSKvsKKR<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/emX0NnVphY\">pic.twitter.com\/emX0NnVphY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rosh met Sanju \ud83d\udc9b (@KingSamson_Era) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KingSamson_Era\/status\/2044124677573095614?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We fall but  we rise like champ 2 win in a row \ud83d\udcc8<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s CSK for you \ud83d\udcc8\ud83d\udd25 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/e2CcK3h9dj\">pic.twitter.com\/e2CcK3h9dj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tonystark\ud83d\udc09 (@Tonystark2409) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Tonystark2409\/status\/2044132659127824407?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Champion team to the underside of the table.
