CRICKET
MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings, who have won their last two games, have dominated the Kolkata Knight Riders in their last five encounters.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) didn't have a great start to their campaign in the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) after losing to Delhi Capitals in their first game but have come back strongly winning the next two games. While their Wednesday's opponents Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have had an exactly opposite start as after winning a thriller against the Rajasthan Royals in their opening game, they have lost their next two games.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led CSK have enjoyed a little dominance over the Kolkata Knight Riders in their last five encounters, winning four of them. KKR, who had a tough time in the games played at Chennai, will be happy with the change in venue as they will be playing their next couple of games in Mumbai, which is better suited to their batsmen.
The Chennai Super Kings and the Kolkata Knight Riders have faced each other 24 times in the 11 seasons (CSK were suspended for the 2016, 2017 seasons) of the IPL since 2008 and the MS Dhoni-led side have won 15, while the Kolkata side has won 9 of the 24 encounters.
In the last season, both sides won one game each. While the Kolkata Knight Riders prevailed in the first game between the two sides by 10 runs, it was the Super Kings, who won in the reverse fixture owing to a Ravindra Jadeja's quickfire cameo of 31* and crucial innings by Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ambati Rayudu as they chased down 173 runs on the final ball.
Chennai Super Kings batsman Suresh Raina is the leading run-scorer in the CSK vs KKR clashes with 736 runs. He is followed by the CSK skipper MS Dhoni with 482 runs. The current coach of KKR side, Brendon McCullum, who has played for both KKR and CSK in the IPL in third on the list with 346 runs.
Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is the leading wicket-taker in the CSK vs KKR games with 16 scalps. KKR mystery spinner Sunil Narine is in second place with 15 wickets, while CSK all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has also 15 dismissals to his name.
