Four-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are on the verge of sealing a last-four spot. On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) needs to win their last two games and wants a few results to go their way to reach the playoffs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, will host the match on Sunday at 7:30 PM.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>CSK vs KKR | Preview | Team Analysis &amp; Squad Details<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s closely examine CSK vs KKR &#8211; team analysis, squad, head-to-head record, and prediction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Chennai Super Kings (CSK)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The opening duo of Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad is expected to set the tone in the powerplay. Both batters, who have scored more than 800 between them, will be keen to pile misery on KKR bowlers. Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, and MS Dhoni are other key contributors with the bat this season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matheesha Pathirana is the player to watch out for in the CSK bowling department. The young pacer has grabbed back-to-back three-wicket hauls and been brilliant in the death overs. Deepak Chahar, too, has excelled in CSK&#8217;s last two games. The spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Maheesh Theekshana have been solid.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>CSK Squad<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MS Dhoni (captain)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nishant Sindhu<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Devon Conway<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ruturaj Gaikwad<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ravindra Jadeja<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shaik Rasheed<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ambati Rayudu<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kyle Jamieson<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mitchell Santner<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ajinkya Rahane<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shivam Dube<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matheesha Pathirana<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rajvardhan Hangargekar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moeen Ali<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ben Stokes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sisanda Magala<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subhranshu Senapati<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bhagath Varma<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tushar Deshpande<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prashant Solanki<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ajay Mandal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dwaine Pretorius<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maheesh Theekshana<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Akash Singh<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simarjeet Singh<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KKR fans saw their batting unit let them down in the crucial fixture against Rajasthan Royals on Thursday. In a good batting track, the opening pair perished before the powerplay. Venkatesh Iyer hit a half-century, but KKR kept losing wickets and, eventually, the momentum. Another failure from the top order could end KKR&#8217;s campaign on Sunday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With experienced pacers having a disappointing outing, KKR must rely on Varun Chakravarthy and uncapped Suyash Sharma. The mystery spinner with 17 wickets will be crucial on a turning track. He will likely get good support from Suyash and Sunil Narine, who has taken only seven wickets this season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>KKR Squad<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nitish Rana (Captain)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mandeep Singh<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Umesh Yadav<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venkatesh Iyer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shardul Thakur<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suyash Sharma<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jason Roy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kulwant Khejroliya<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rinku Singh<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harshit Rana<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Narayan Jagadeesan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaibhav Arora<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anukul Roy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lockie Ferguson<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tim Southee<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Litton Das<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Wiese<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunil Narine<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andre Russell\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rahmanullah Gurbaz<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Varun Chakravarthy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aarya Desai<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b><\/b><b>Head-to-Head- CSK vs KKR<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CSK has 18 wins in the 28 meetings against KKR in IPL.
