Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been a rampage as far as this edition’s Indian Premier League (IPL) is concerned. The MS Dhoni-captained franchise has won six of their first seven matches and are safely placed in the top of the points table. Last time, CSK got over the line in a cliffhanger against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur and would be brimming with confidence.

Mitchell Santner was needed to score three runs off the last ball off fast bowler Ben Stokes and he did it without much fuss. After the closely-fought victory, the Super Kings are now scheduled to lock horns with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata where they have won four out of eight games against KKR. In their last meeting at the Chepauk, the CSK bowlers dominated thoroughly.

Unlike the Chennai wicket, the Kolkata track will be batting-friendly and the Chennai bowlers can’t afford any sort of complacency. Going into the contest, the visitors need to be aware of one cricketer and that’s none other than the hulk-like Andre Russell, who has effortlessly been KKR’s gun player this season, both with the willow and the ball. The Jamaican even scored a fifty in this season against CSK.

Record against the opposition (CSK):

274 runs in 8 T20 innings at an average of 68.5 and S/R of 172.32 with 4 fifties

5 wickets in 22 overs at an average of 34.8

Andre Russell’s last 3 innings vs CSK:

50* (44b; 5x4s, 3x6s)

88* (36b; 1x4s, 11x6s)

55* (32b; 4x4s, 4x6s)

Record at the venue (Eden Garden, Kolkata):

531 runs in 21 T20 innings at an average of 35.40 and S/R of 198.13 with 2 fifties

24 wickets from 26 matches at an average of 25.20
