Lacklustre CSK shot out for lowest total at Chepauk before Knights romp home with 59 balls to spare
KOLKATA: Looking dapper in a suit, MS Dhoni smiles, recounting for you the benefits of a national bank. His is — as it always was — a face that can easily sell airline tickets, ceiling fans, mineral water and even mutual funds. Bet he would do anything to borrow some of that goodwill to convince the CSK faithful that this too shall pass. Because there are lows, and then there are abysmal lows like this.
A walloping eight-wicket win by Kolkata Knight Riders who took down 103 in just 61 balls means Chennai Super Kings have now lost an unprecedented three consecutive matches at home. Never have CSK lost five games in a row as well, another forgettable first. All on Dhoni's comeback as CSK captain, again.
