After a victory in their opening clash against Mumbai Indians last month, CSK had slumped to three back-to-back losses, a first instance of the team losing as many straight games since 2014, but on the back of Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis' unbeaten half-centuries they dominated Kings XI and won with more than two overs to spare.
Both Watson and du Plessis faced 53 balls each and scored 83 and 87 respectively as CSK raced to their target of 179 in just 17.4 overs.

Earlier, CSK put together a much-improved bowling performance even in the face of a strong KXIP opening pair of KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal.
Shardul Thakur returned 2/39 in four overs while Ravindra Jadeja was economical with 1/30 from four.
