The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) would want to bounce back after their loss when they host the unbeaten Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at M. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on April 8th for the 22nd game of IPL 2024. The match will start at 7:30 pm Indian Standard Time (IST).
The IPL 2024 points table has started to shuffle a bit after the Mumbai Indians won their game last night against the Delhi Capitals. The MI body language positivity was evident as soon as Rohit Sharma arrived. He smashes a quickfire 49 runs to give his team a headstart.
The Rajasthan Royans continue to remain on top with all four wins at 8 points while KKR is second winning all their three games. The CSK stands in fourth place, winning three. So, these two teams are unbeaten in this tournament so far.
Recent Performance:
In the last two matches, CSK lost away from home against DC and SRH after beating them at home twice.
Their batting lineup, except for Shivam Dube, didn’t do well, and the absence of their main bowlers (Matheesha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman) was the main reason behind their failure.
While Chennai Super Kings (CSK) came into the match after two losses, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have been in red-hot form, winning all three of their previous matches by a comfortable margin.
The KKR team has had great opening innings, with Sunil Narine and Phil Salt batting and match-winners like Andre Russell contributing; this team is a force to reckon with. KKR will aim to maintain the positive motions, while CSK will look at bouncing back.
