KKR suffer a humiliating 55-run defeat

Kolkata Knight Riders gave a pathetic batting display to crash to a 55-run defeat against Chennai Super Kings who won their first game in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Tuesday.

Facing an asking rate of 8.25, the KKR innings never got going after Brad Hodge (0) departed off the second delivery, as their batsmen fell prey to soft dismissals to see the innings fold for 109 in 19.1 overs before a capacity crowd at the Eden Gardens.
