Kolkata Knight Riders are back in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match today. Nitish Rana’s opponent today is Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. The match will start at 8 pm Bangladesh time.

Kolkata was in a happy mood after winning two matches in a row. But Shahrukh Khan’s team suffered a big blow in their last match. Rajasthan Royals crushed KKR at Eden Gardens last Thursday. Calcutta flew that day with the batting of Yasswi Jaiswal. As a result, Kolkata’s dream of playoffs became difficult.

Apart from the 2012 IPL win, the ground in Chennai has never reached KKR. They have lost here again and again in the net of spin. Even today, the Chennai spinners will be looking to trap the KKR batsmen. Mahesh Thikshana, Ravindra Jadeja, and Moeen Ali will look to get the KKR batsmen out quickly. KKR’s weapons are Varun Chakraborty and Suyash Sharma. Sunil Narine will definitely be in the XI. Being a Tamil Nadu cricketer, this ground is familiar to Varun. To see how much impact he can have.
