Pitch Report
Analysis
Kolkata Knight Riders have found themselves in trouble in recent outings because of their top order not scoring enough runs. Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, and Rinku Singh have been in decent batting form individually, but they haven’t been impacting the team in a positive manner as a collective group. KKR’s bowling lineup haven’t found a reliable fast bowler in this IPL season thus far, while their spin trio of Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, and Suyash Sharma have gone off the boil in recent matches.
Chennai Super Kings are definitely in the ascendancy as far as their batting lineup goes. The opening duo of Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad along with Shivam Dube and Ambati Rayudu are scoring bulk of the runs for Chennai. While in the bowling department, the young fast bowling duo of Akash Singh and Tushar Deshpande are stepping up for CSK alongside their potent spin bowling attack.
