Abu Dhabi: Eoin Morgan-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have won the toss against MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and opted to bat first in ikr0match no. 38 in Abu Dabi. Both the teams have been in good form since the restart of the IPL 2021 season.
While Eoin Morgan & Co. is going unchanged in this high-voltage clash, CSK has made one major change to their XI. All-rounder Dwayne Bravo has been replaced by England’s Sam Curran. Both CSK and KKR are carrying superb momentum at this point as they are yet to lose a game in the second phase of the league. It’s going to be a crucial game for them as whichever side returns victorious, moves closer to playoff qualification.
Comparatively, CSK has the upper hand as they are at the second spot but KKR has to put their best foot forward to maintain the rhythm they are in at the moment.
