Player Picks

9
C

Sunil Narine KKR | ALL

Sunil Narine is currently the most valuable player in the KKR team. Promoted as an opener, the southpaw gives them a blazing start in the powerplay. In the previous match against Delhi, he scored a match-winning 85 off just 39 balls. Don't forget that the spin wizard is also a crucial wicket-taker.

9
C

Andre Russell KKR | ALL

Andre Russell has been in fine form this season as the Caribbean giant has been contributing well in both departments. Russell smacked a 19-ball 41 and also picked up a wicket in the last match.

7
C

Shivam Dubey CSK | ALL

Shivam Dube is one of the most reliable and consistent batters in the CSK unit. The southpaw has scored 148 runs in four matches so far at an incredible strike rate of 160.87. He is a spin basher and will have a lot of work to do against a spin-centric KKR lineup.

8

Varun Chakravarthy KKR | BOWL

Varun Chakravarthy is another key component in the KKR spin attack. Given his past performances, the mystery spinner is expected to have a great outing in Chepauk. It is noteworthy that he took three wickets in the match against DC.

9.5

Angkrish Raghuvanshi KKR | BAT

Raghuvanshi became the talk of the town after he smashed a quick-fire half-century in KKR's historic win against DC. Playing his first IPL match, the 18-year-old struck at 200 to make 57 runs and helped accelerate KKR's scoring in the middle overs. He will be on high focus when KKR take on CSK.

9

Ravindra Jadeja CSK | ALL

Ravindra Jadeja has a good record at home and will be expected to get on a roll against KKR. He has not been at his best so far this season but will look to shut down critics.

8.5

Rinku Singh KKR | BAT

Rinku Singh is yet to display his full potential this season, but he is contributing with notable cameos. In the last match, the southpaw scored a brisk 8-ball 26, helping KKR post the second-highest total in league history.

9

Ruturaj Gaikwad CSK | BAT

The CSK captain has yet to perform well with the bat. However, given his performances last season, the opening batter needs a few matches to find his form. CSK are going to play at their home ground and it will be a great opportunity for Gaikwad to prove his mettle.

8.5

Moeen Ali CSK | ALL

Moeen Ali got his chance in CSK's last match against SRH. The English all-rounder took two wickets but did not get the opportunity to bat. Given Daryl Mitchell's poor form, the Kiwi batter is likely to be dropped for the next match and Moeen will be batting up the order. The southpaw can score aggressively and can chip in with a few wickets as well.

MS Dhoni

CSK | WK

You might be inclined to pick the legendary cricketer, but the chances of him getting a chance to bat in a power-packed CSK line-up are slim.

8.5

Mitchell Starc

KKR | BOWL

The most expensive player in IPL history was finally relieved with a two-wicket haul against DC. In the first two matches, the Australian pacer conceded a huge economy. There is no indication that the left-arm quick has returned to form and it is not a wise decision to pick him based on his performance in the last match.
