KKR has won 2 out of its last 5 matches, lost 2 and 1 had no result. In the last match they defeated RR by 1 run. Whereas CSK has won only 1 match in the last 5 matches and lost 4. Their last match was against RCB in which they got a close defeat by 2 runs. KKR seems to be in slightly better form whereas CSK is finding its rhythm back.
The Eden Gardens pitch is good for both batting and bowling. Batting is easy at the beginning of the match but as the pitch slows down, the spinners come into the game. In many matches here the chasing team has won. The black soil pitch gives a little turn so spinners get an advantage. A score around 170 is normal but a target of 180+ is considered safe to win the match. Bowlers like Narine and Varun have always done well here.
Narine has played 9 balls against Jadeja and has lost his wicket 3 times.
He has scored only 15 runs and hit 2 sixes.
Strike rate is 166.7 but average is just 5.0.
Jadeja has clearly dominated in this battle.
Dube has scored 28 runs in 19 balls against Arora.
He has been out 2 times but his strike rate is 147.4.
He has also hit 3 fours and 1 six.

He has hit only 1 four, no six.

Varun has clearly put Dhoni in a struggle.
Ajinkya has been solid for KKR with 327 runs in 11 matches. He scored 61 in a recent match. He has a good strike rate of 146.63. Rahane provides stability in the middle order. His experience and consistency are crucial for KKR.
Varun has taken 15 wickets in 11 matches with an economy rate of 7.23. His best performance was 3/22. He’s a key spinner for KKR and can pick up important wickets in the middle overs. Varun’s control over the ball makes him valuable.
Jadeja has been excellent, both with the bat and ball. He scored 77* in his last match and has 260 runs in 11 matches. His economy rate is 8.53, and he bowls well in the middle overs. Jadeja is a match-winner for CSK with his all-round skills.
Sam has been doing well, scoring 88 runs in his last match. He also contributes with the ball, taking important wickets. Curran is an all-rounder and can change the game with both bat and ball. His ability to perform in crucial moments is important for CSK.
Ayush has scored 163 runs in 4 matches. His highest score is 94. He’s shown good form with the bat, and his aggressive style is helpful in quick scoring. Mhatre’s recent performances make him a rising star for CSK.
Angkrish has been in good form. He scored 50 against GT and 44 against RR. He has a strike rate of 146.15. Raghuvanshi is a key top-order batsman for KKR. His ability to play strong innings makes him an important player.
Deepak Hooda is completely out of form this season and not only should you not bother to pick him in your team, Chennai Super Kings should also not give him any further chances in the league. His performance has gone from bad to worse this season with each passing game.
Ramandeep Singh was hyped up so much before this season but he has not been given chances to bat in most of the matches. However whenever he has got his chance to impress, he could only depress the fans this season. Ramandeep Singh’s highest score is 22 runs versus Mumbai Indians and the second highest is 6 and their highest is 1 one. His total this season is 30 runs in 9 matches including a duck. You should avoid Ramandeep Singh in this match.
