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.

Lea Michele revisits her roots at Broadway's Imperial Theatre

Lea Michele was just a kid actor backstage at the Imperial Theatre on Broadway when she first heard a song from the musical “Chess” on a stereo. Some three decades later, she finds herself singing that same tune in the same theatre. The “Glee” and Broadway veteran, who got her professional start in “Les Misérables” at age 8, has returned, now a mother and a bankable star, to her old stomping grounds, which coincidentally is the very theater where “Chess” made its debut in 1988.
