Chennai Super Kings registered their second consecutive win of the season on Tuesday as they defeated Kolkata Knight Riders in the 22nd match of IPL 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. They also became the first team in IPL 2026 to defend a total of less than 200 runs as KKR fell short by 32 runs to succumb to their fourth loss in five matches.
With this win, CSK jumped to eighth place in the points table and have four points to show for their efforts after five matches while KKR are still rooted to the bottom of the table with only one point which they got after the washout against Punjab Kings.
Rajasthan Royals continue to be on top of the table with four wins in five matches but are only a point ahead of the only unbeaten team this year, Punjab Kings. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are placed third but could jump to the top if they beat the seventh placed Lucknow Super Giants today at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Sunrisers Hyderabad are in fourth position after their big win over the Royals by 57 runs on Monday.
Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Titans and LSG are the next three teams in the table while Mumbai Indians are in ninth place after three losses in four matches.
