The Chennai team will now land to play on their home ground with the aim of changing their fate. However, he has not yet got that much help from the wicket here as he used to meet in the past. Chennai’s head coach Stephen Fleming expressed his displeasure over the pitch after a major defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore. He has contributed significantly to his home ground in Chennai’s previous successes, but now the pitch here has changed a lot and its players are not able to reconcile it.
Chennai hopes to change his luck under MS Dhoni’s captaincy
If Chennai has to bring its campaign back on track, then its players will have to keep pace with the circumstances here as soon as possible. Not only this, his spin bowlers will have to find a way to achieve success. Everyone’s eyes will once again remain on Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He scored 27 off 12 balls in the last match against Punjab Kings, including three sixes and a four. The good thing for the Chennai team is that batsmen like Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra and Shivam Dubey have indicated to get rhythm but captain Ruturaj Gaikwad needs a big innings.
Both teams have more than one bowler
Chennai’s bowling will be more or less the same, in which Khalil Ahmed, Mukesh Chaudhary and Mathisha Pathirana will handle the fast bowling department, while Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Noor Ahmed will have the responsibility of spin department. As far as Kolkata Knight Riders are concerned, they will try to return to the path of victory three days ago, recovering from the close defeat against the Lucknow Super Giant and before it is too late. His bowlers faced a tough challenge from Lucknow batsmen at Eden Gardens.
KKR has big hitters

In batting, the Knight Riders’ Daromdar will be again on players like Quinton de Kock, Sunil Naren, Captain Ajinkya Rahane, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Andre Russell and Rinku Singh.
