CHENNAI, India (AP) — The Chennai Super Kings' lowest total at home in Indian Premier League history led to their fifth consecutive loss on Friday.
Sunil Narine’s brilliance with ball and bat led Kolkata Knight Riders to an eight-wicket win with nearly 10 overs to spare.
Chennai avoided its lowest ever total — 79 — but 103-9 at Chepauk was hardly less embarrassing a day after Mahendra Singh Dhoni was handed the captaincy in the absence of the injured Ruturaj Gaikwad.
Kolkata’s spin trio of Narine, Varun Chakravarthy and Moeen Ali strangled the home team with combined bowling figures of 12-1-55-6.
