Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings: Both teams preview

Kolkata Knight Riders

The defending champions didn’t really have a strong season this year, it’s a journey of setbacks and comebacks. Starting with a loss they bounced back in their next match against RR but then again lost. With a mixed season with a no result match, 5 wins and 5 losses KKR have managed a decent season and currently are in the 6th spot of the points table. With just three games left now, KKR will aim for a strong win and would be eyeing for consistent efforts from teams and would try to deliver a strong all-round performance to stay in the playoffs race.

Chennai Super Kings

One of the most successful teams of the IPL, Chennai Super Kings didn’t really have a great season this year, and they failed miserably. With just 2 wins from 11 games so far, CSK became the first team to be eliminated from the race of the playoffs and are now just playing for pride. The internal squad imbalances, skipper injury, and failure of their top batting order have been the main factors for their early exit in the season. Coming into the match against KKR, Chennai will be a bit confident with their new stable opening partnership of Ayush Mhatre and Shaik Rasheed, which is further supported by middle-order batters like Ravindra Jadeja and Dewald Brevis. With strong hopes for the next season, CSK will now play for the pride and will look to end the tournament on a respectable note.
