After defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their home, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will now be locking horns with the table-toppers Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The journey so far for the KKR team under their new skipper Dinesh Karthik has been up and down while MS Dhoni’s men in yellow have been ruling the ongoing season of the cash-rich league so far on the power of their batting strength. Now with the league heading towards playoffs, every match is important for all the teams.
Both the teams are having a winning momentum with them and the reason behind the same is the presence of some surprise packages in their respective squads. Let us have a look at such players of both the teams.
Ambati Rayudu (CSK)
Ambati Rayudu has been consistent for CSK this year. Rayudu till now has scored 370 runs at an unbelievable strike rate of 156. In just eight innings, he has smacked 33 fours and 20 sixes. In this season, Rayudu has also recorded his highest individual IPL score of 82. Unfortunately, he has been run out in three of the matches. KKR will have to be careful with this man-in-form.
