IPL 2023: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings – Dafanews Match Preview

Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Chennai Super Kings in the 33rd game of the Indian Premier League 2023 at the iconic Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Sunday. KKR has won only two out of the six matches they have played and they will certainly want to bag a win against CSK while playing at home.

We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form for KKR: L L L W W

After winning two back-to-back matches, KKR veered off the track as they lost their last three matches. KKR could only manage 127 runs on the board against Delhi Capitals in their last game and they will have to pull up their socks in the batting department.

Current form for CSK: W L W W L

Chennai has done a good job with the bat as their top and middle order have batted at the top of their game. Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube, and Ajinkya Rahane have delivered the goods for the team. Furthermore, the spinners have also been right on the money.

Head to Head: Matches: 29, Won by CSK: 18, Won by KKR: 10, Abandoned: 1.

CSK clearly holds the advantage against KKR in H2H.

Players to look out for: Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ambati Rayudu, Moeen Ali, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, and Mitchell Santner will be the key players for CSK.
