KKR vs CSK Match Details
Match: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings (Match 15)
Date & Day: 21st April 2021, Wednesday
Match Time: 7:30 PM (IST)
Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
On the other hand, their opponent Kolkata Knight Riders need a lot of improvement in their current form as they have faced two continuous defeats in their recent two matches. The team is sitting at the fifth spot in the league table having 2 points scored in their pocket. As we saw in their last two matches, the team is lacking to make good runs in order to surpass the target score set by their opponent. So, they should keep an eye on their batting department and should improve their form as well.
Meanwhile, CSK is currently doing well but MS Dhoni lacking form continues in his so far played three matches in this season. This lacking form is not acceptable from any other team’s captain and therefore, it may cause some problem for CSK. However, the good form and great performance of Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali, and few others is balancing this concern very well and if they follow the same momentum in the upcoming match, then the team may lead this combat as well.
