Brendon McCullum [Images] led Kolkata and Mahendra Singh Dhoni [Images] led Chennai got one point each after the abandonment of the tie.
It was raining since morning and the match was called off without a ball being bowled.
Both the teams badly needed a win as each of them has lost two matches out of three.
Chennai Super Kings now stand at third position in the points table due to a superior net run rate while Kolkata Knight Riders occupy fifth spot.
