Struggling CSK eye redemption against Kolkata in crucial clash at Chepauk

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be desperate to turn their fortunes around when they take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KR) in Match 95 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday.

With four consecutive defeats behind them and just one win so far this season, the former champions find themselves languishing in ninth place, with pressure mounting with every game.

While CSK showed glimpses of revival in their last outing against Punjab Kings — particularly with the bat in a spirited chase of 219 — the I8-run loss underlined their struggle to string together a complete performance.

Head coach Stephen Fleming expressed his dissatisfaction with the team’s failure to capitalise on home conditions at Chepauk, a venue that has traditionally been their fortress. The slow and tricky surface that used to favour CSK’s spin-heavy attack has played differently this season, contributing to their woes.

Police must rise to meet the moment

I have been a close observer of American policing for most of my life. During my 30-year career in law enforcement, I served as a patrol officer, detective, trainer, and from 1972 to 1993 the chief of police in Madison, Wisconsin. I've seen brutality, courage and redemption in this line of work. But I have never seen a greater police-related threat to our democracy than what we are witnessing today.
