Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings at a Glance
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings Team Preview
Kolkata Knight Riders
Although they did lose their first game of the season, Kolkata Knight Riders swiftly picked up the pace and won their following two games. The Nitish Rana-led club has already lost three straight games, losing momentum.
There is a good probability Nitish Rana may want Shardul Thakur to start again after Kulwant Khejroliya failed to secure his spot by handing up 20 runs in just 8 balls. Additionally, because he previously played for the side, the later all-rounder is well aware of CSK’s game plans. This match may also see KKR field seven bowlers.
Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings appear to be regaining their mojo after losing their first game of the 2023 season. They have won four of their previous five games. While their batting lineup has been outstanding since game 1, their bowling staff is also stepping up to help them become a formidable squad to compete for the trophy.
It is difficult to imagine MS Dhoni starting the game without all 4 of his overseas players after CSK’s most recent victory. While Matheesha Pathirana and Maheesh Theekshana, too, appeared to be improving with the ball in the previous game, Moeen Ali, who also offers a bowling option, is most likely to keep his spot. Tushar Deshpande might be replaced by Deepak Chahar, though, considering the type of the pitch.
