Kolkata's run chase got off to a bad start as Chris Morris clean bowled captain Gautam Gambhir (14) in the third over.
Earlier, Michael Hussey's 59-ball 95, Suresh Raina's 25-ball 44 and captain MS Dhoni's last ball six powered Chennai Super Kings to 200/3.
Raina hit a six and 4 fours in his 25-ball 44 before he was roun out in the last over.
Hussey smashed a 59-ball 95 before Sunil Narine had him caught by Debabrata Das at deep mid-wicket.
Hussey's magnificent knock was studded with two sixes and 11 fours.
Wriddhiman Saha hit a 23-ball 39 before Rajat Bhatia had him caught by Eoin Morgan at deep mid-wicket in the 11th over.
Hussey smashed a 31-ball half-century as he and Saha brought up Chennai Super Kings' 100 in the tenth over.
Kolkata captain Gautam Gambhir's decision to bowl first seemed to have backfired as Hussey and Saha brought up Chennai's fifty in the sixth over.
Kolkata have brought in Brendon McCullum and Shami Ahmed in place of Sachithra Senanayake and Sarabjit Ladda.
Wriddhiman Saha replaces Murali Vijay in the Chennai line-up and Dirk Nannes also comes in place of Jason Holder.
