Hello and Welcome to our preview for Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders. We are covering CSK vs KKR Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for IPL. The next match is to be played at Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
After a long wait for two years, Chennai will again be painted in yellow and will welcome their team and their most beloved captain. A very similar CSK is returning to their home, sans the local boy, Ashwin. Kolkata have already won at their forte, and everybody knows how hard it is to beat chennai in chennai. This will be an interesting watch for the viewers for sure.
With Dwayne Bravo’s heroics, Chennai missed a scare by 1 wicket. With 166 to be made against Mumbai in inaugural match, CSK started poorly. Losing 4 wickets very early. Dwayne Bravo made 68 in just 30 balls, with seven sixes, along with Kedar Jadhav’s 24 were the saving grace for them. In bowling department Deepak Chahar started really well for them. Shane Watson took 2, and Dwayne Bravo again bowled really well in the death.
Against RCB, KKR won the toss and chose to bowl at the home turf, and succeeded. Even with McCullum and Ab De firing up, Nitish Rana, along with Johnson, Chawla, Narine bowled well. Vinay Kumar and Rana, though expensive, took 2 wickets each. While batting, again Narine and Nitish Rana were the stars, Narine scoring yet another 50 in 19 balls. With the captain and all-rounders in the form, Kolkata are the favourites here.

Kolkata Knight Riders :
KKR Didn’t want to change their winning combination. only if they want they can replace Rinku Singh to Shubman Gill OR Ishank Jaggi.
Chennai Super Kings :
Kedar Jadhav (Injured) ruled out from IPL 2018. so CSK need to make a forced change in playing XI. they can add Murali Vijay or N Jagadeesan inplace of him. Murli Vijay who didn’t played last match due to injury in training, most likely to he will play.
