Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 61st Match, IPL 2023: Head-to-Head and other key stats

Chennai Super Kings will lock horns with the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 61st match of the Indian Premier League 2023 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, on Sunday, 14th of May. CSK has been the side in form this season, their top order has been brilliant, and Devon Conway has been in prime form. Ajinkya Rahane, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Shivam Dube have stepped in when needed as well. Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali, and Maheesh Theekshana have been brilliant with the ball. Deshpande has picked up wickets but has conceded a lot of runs. Chennai Super Kings are coming into this game on the back of a win against the Delhi Capitals at home and will look to continue the winning momentum.

On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders have blown hot and cold through the IPL 2023, they are currently reeling at the seventh position with five wins in twelve appearances. There have been some sensational individual performances, but they have failed to fire as a unit. While their top order has struggled against the swinging ball, they have been over-reliant on their spinners. However, players like Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh and Varun Chakravarthy are in surreal form and could emerge as match-winners for the two-time champions. This match has the making of going down to the wire and promises to be very entertaining.
