Chennai “Super Losers”? CSK suffer 5th straight loss of IPL 2025, endure longest winless streak ever

Chennai Super Kings have lost four consecutive matches a couple of times, but they lost their fifth successive match for the first time.

From being one of the most feared franchises in IPL history to becoming the team with the longest active losing streak this season, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have hit rock bottom.

Their latest defeat—at the hands of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)—was not just a loss, but a humbling reminder of how far they’ve fallen. After being restricted to a miserable 103/9 in their 20 overs, CSK watched helplessly as KKR made a mockery of the chase, cruising to the target in just 10 overs with 9 sixes and only two wickets lost. The sheer gulf in intent and execution between the two sides was alarming for CSK fans.

The numbers tell a grim story for CSK. Five straight losses mark their worst-ever run in IPL history, and the manner in which this particular defeat unfolded only adds to the embarrassment. It was their heaviest defeat in IPL history (by balls remaining). KKR nailed down the chase in just 10.1 overs!

While CSK managed just one six across 120 balls, KKR unleashed a flurry of big hits, treating the Chepauk surface like a batting paradise—something CSK never managed to do. KKR hit 10 sixes in their 61-ball innings.
