Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders — Rivalry Notes

CSK hold a commanding historical edge (roughly two-thirds of meetings), and this rivalry has produced two IPL finals — KKR won the 2012 final at Chepauk, CSK avenged it in the 2021 final in Dubai. Chepauk was long a CSK fortress against KKR (8 wins from 10) until KKR's dominant 8-wicket win there in April 2025 ended a long home hoodoo; CSK responded by winning the sole 2026 meeting comfortably.
