Chennai Super Kings defended 116 runs in a match against Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2009. This is still the record of the lowest successful defence in the Indian Premier League. CSK batted first and no batsman could perform brilliantly due to Kings XI Punjab’s tough bowling. Parthiv Patel was CSK’s highest run-scorer with 32 runs as CSK scored 116-9.
In response, Chennai Super Kings too bowled magnificently and kept Kings XI Punjab far from victory. KXIP could only reach 92-8 in 20 overs and eventually lost the match by 24 runs. Suresh Raina, Ravichandran Ashwin, Muttiah Muralitharan, and Thilan Thushara took 2 wickets each. The pressure which the CSK bowlers created over Punjab batsmen was thrilling to watch.
