The April 11, 2025, match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) proved to be a record-breaking match. KKR successfully chased a modest total of 104 runs in only 10.1 overs, which is the quickest successful chase against CSK in Indian Premier League history. The dominant batting performance by KKR left the CSK bowlers with no option but to watch as the match slipped away from them very quickly.

This record-breaking chase over the former fastest chase of CSK was done by the Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2020. They had chased 115 runs in 12.2 overs then. KKR's attacking style of cricket from the very start of their innings maintained pressure on CSK. Quinton de Kock and Ajinkya Rahane paved the way with their front-line performances, and their team finished the game in style. The fans in the stadium and around the world were thrilled by the fearless batting performance.

Many teams attempted to beat CSK in the years gone by, but very few were able to complete the game so swiftly. Punjab Kings (PBKS) in 2021 had pursued a target of 135 in 13 overs, and Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) in 2012 had pursued 111 runs in 13.2 overs. But KKR's pursuit in 2025 has now created a new benchmark that will be difficult to surpass in later seasons.

Past Fastest Pursuits Against CSK in IPL

The list of fastest successful run chases against CSK has some thrilling moments. Prior to KKR's astonishing feat, the fastest was MI's chase of 115 in 12.2 overs in 2020. PBKS closely followed that with their 13-over chase in 2021, while DD's run in 2012 took 13.2 overs. All these quick conclusions reflect how performance domination can favor the chasing side, particularly against a powerful outfit like CSK.

KKR's firebrand batting and aggressive nature facilitated this record. It wasn't merely running down a small target but achieving it at such pace that history was made. The win will always be a moment of pride for KKR and their followers, as they now possess the record for the fastest chase in history against Chennai Super Kings in the IPL.
