Chennai Super Kings Team Preview
BATTING Camp
- CSK’s main strength lies in their batting power. From the opening pair of Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad to finishers Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja everyone is looking in fine touch.
- The middle batting order is composed of brilliant Indian batters who can change the match with their hitting skills. S Dube, Ajinkya Rahane, and Moeen Ali have performed very well in this season so far.
BOWLING Camp
- Spin bowling is the major plus point in CSK’s squad, they have quality spinners like – M Ali, R Jadeja, M Theekshana in their team who are brilliant in the middle overs.
- Pace attack is also very impressive with Deepak Chahar’s comeback the bowling order is looking perfect in all aspects.
- Matheesha Pathirana and T Deshpande have also been tremendous with the ball taking wickets at regular intervals.
CSK Possible Starting 11
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Deepak Chahar, Matheesha Pathirana, Tushar Deshpande, Maheesh Theekshana
Kolkata Knight Riders Team Preview
BATTING Camp
- Opening pair was a major point of concern for the team, more than half of the tournament was finished and the management tried 7 different pairs. Jason Roy and Rahmanullah Gurbaz are currently opening for the team and have performed well.
- The middle batting order is composed of brilliant Indian batters who can change the match with their hitting skills. N Rana, V Iyer, and R Singh have performed very well in this season so far.
BOWLING Camp
- Spin bowling is the major plus point in KKR’s squad, they have quality spinners like – V Chakravarthy, S Narine, and Suyash Sharma in their team who are brilliant in the middle overs.
- Pace attack is not impressive having new Indian bowlers in the team. Harshit Rana has impressed everyone with his swing abilities. Not selecting Umesh is also quite weird.
KKR Possible Starting 11
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Jason Roy, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana (c), Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Shardul Thakur, Vaibhav Arora, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy
