Don’t miss the stalwarts play today at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai at 8:00 PM IST. Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders will take on each other as they vie for the top spot in the season. Till date, both teams have played around 20 matches against each other and CSK have won 12 out of those. But in the Chepauk Stadium KKR has only managed to triumph twice against CSK. The pitch today favors the spinners.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
On April 6th, Chennai Super Kings lost to the Mumbai Indians, halting their winning streak. Yet the team won four out of their five matches and thus is now vying for the winning game. They made a comeback after defeating Kings XI Punjab but still, KKR has a superior net run rate to keep them ahead at +1.058.
Probable Playing XI
Faf du Plessis, Shane Watson, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Scott Kuggeleijn, Harbhajan Singh and Imran Tahir.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
Harry Gurney did extremely well, garnering the Man of the Match title in his debut IPL game. This means chances of Lockie Ferguson playing this tournament are rather slim. The team has been unable to sustain their momentum over the last few seasons and Captain Dinesh Karthik feels that the bowlers need more discipline – this even after their win against RCB.
Probable Playing XI
Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine, Robin Uthappa, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik (c & wk), Shubman Gill, Andre Russell, Piyush Chawla, Kuldeep Yadav, Harry Gurney, and Prasidh Krishna.
