At the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday, April 11, the Kolkata Knight Riders easily defeated the Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets. Varun Chakravarthy then imitated KL Rahul’s “this is my home ground” celebration. Chakravarthy’s outstanding bowling performance in the game’s opening innings was one of the factors that helped KKR win.
As his team members were embracing each other after KKR dominated the 104-run chase and won with 59 deliveries remaining,
Varun Chakravarthy gleefully let loose the celebration. Notably,
Rahul had orchestrated the celebration the day before the CSK-KKR match after defeating RCB in Bengaluru with an incredible 93-run out of just 53 deliveries.

The reigning champs put on an absolutely comprehensive display as KKR easily defeated CSK. The Men in Yellow lost five straight IPL games for the first time after winning by eight wickets. In terms of balls left, the five-time winners’ losing margin of 59 was the largest.
In relation to Rahul’s case, he served as Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s representative in 2013 and 2016. In 12 innings, the graceful batsman-wicketkeeper scored 397 runs at a strike rate of 146.49. He didn’t make it to the next edition in 2018 after missing the 2017 one because of a shoulder issue. Rahul’s fans were taken aback by this, believing that RCB ought to have supported him.
On Tuesday, April 15, KKR will play the Punjab Kings at the Mullanpur Cricket Stadium. In their first six IPL 2025 matches, KKR had won three and lost three. For the rest of the competition, they would be eager to improve their performance.
