CSK vs KKR Preview

Chennai Super Kings have lost their way in recent matches, losing their last two games. However, the Super Kings have a decent roster with a good mix of youth and experience. They will start as slight favorites owing to home conditions, but they will be wary of Shreyas Iyer and Co., who have been brilliant of late, winning all three matches they have played so far. Their batting unit has delivered more often than not, with the duo of Phil Salt and Sunil Narine standing out at the top of the order.
