Preview:
Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings have had the exact opposite starts in the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League. The Knights looked brilliant in their opening fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad, but things have gone downhill for them ever since.
After a demoralizing defeat against Mumbai Indians, they simply failed to turn up, both with the bat and the ball, against Royal Challengers Bangalore. They will be desperate to get their act together, but doing so will not be easy against Chennai Super Kings, a team that started off with a horrendous defeat but have been absolutely flawless ever since.

Top Picks for KKR vs CSK Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – Batsmen
Faf du Plessis has got off to good starts in his last two games, and by the looks of it, a big knock can be expected from his blade soon. He has scored 96 runs from 50 deliveries in his last 2 games.
Nitish Rana is the only KKR batsman who looked in good touch in all three matches. While he could score only 18 runs in the last game, he scored half-centuries in the two matches prior to it.
Top Picks – All-Rounders
There were many mega-money signings for this season, but arguably, Moeen Ali’s performance has been the best from that lot. He scored 26 runs and picked up 3 wickets in the last game, while in the match before that, he scored 46 runs and took 1 wicket.
Andre Russell is certainly not looking in either the right shape of the right form at the moment. But what we all know is that the all-rounder is one of the most dangerous strikers of the cricket ball when he is in his rhythm.
Top Picks – Bowlers
There haven’t been many good bowling performances by a KKR bowler, but in terms of consistency, Pat Cummins is right up there. He has picked up 5 wickets and has conceded 30+ runs only once.
Deepak Chahar did not get any wicket in the last game, but he showed his true calibre in the game against Punjab Kings, where he picked up 4 wickets by conceding only 13 runs.
Top Picks – Wicketkeepers
This is one particular game where none of the teams’ wicketkeeper have been in great form. But since he batted well against Hyderabad, you can go with Dinesh Karthik.

Faf du Plessis (C), MS Dhoni, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi, Ravindra Jadeja, Andre Russell (VC), Sunil Narine, Moeen Ali, Lungi Ngidi, Pat Cummins, Shardul Thakur
KKR vs CSK Risky Captaincy Choices:
Shubman Gill has got starts in every game. All he now needs to do is show a bit more maturity when it comes to shot selection and play a long knock.
Suresh Raina hasn’t really got going after his fabulous half-century against Delhi, but that knock was enough to prove that there is still a lot of cricket left in him. He can be a risky captaincy pick.
Player you should avoid
Ambati Rayudu scored a handy 27 in the last game, but he is coming way down the order to have a bigger impact on the game. At his price, there are better top-order options available elsewhere.
