Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after winning their previous two matches will descend on Wednesday to continue their winning streak against the struggling Kolkata Knight Riders. CSK did not have a good start to this year after a poor performance in the UAE last year and suffered a seven-wicket defeat to Delhi Capitals in the first match itself. Soon after Mahendra Singh Dhoni made a comeback in his familiar style. Captain Cool used all his resources at the Wankhede Stadium suited to the batsmen.

KKR won only one of the three matches, this will be the Kolkata Knight Riders' first match of the season in Wankhede. They've arrived here after suffering two consecutive defeats and in such a situation, the Dhoni-led CSK has an upper hand. KKR, captained by Eoin Morgan, could make some changes to the team to get his campaign back on track.

The Wankhede pitch is not helping the spinners much and Morgan could include Australian all-rounder Ben Cutting in the playing XI instead of Shakib-al-Hasan, while Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav could be a better option than Harbhajan Singh.

CSK

Chennai Super Kings’ Head Coach Stephen Fleming revealed that Ruturaj Gaikwad will continue to get more chances to prove his worth. Expect the CSK side to remain unchanged.

PITCH REPORT:

If the last two matches that were played at this venue are any indication, then we should be in for another high-scoring encounter. The batsmen will definitely be rewarded for their shots at the Wankhede. The bowlers will have to be spot on with their lengths, else they might get spanked all over the park.
