The 21st match of IPL 2020 will witness Chennai Super Kings taking on Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday. Both teams have registered two wins in the tournament. Though, Chennai Super Kings have played one match less than KKR. Given that momentum is with CSK, Dhoni and Co. have a slight edge over KKR.
Chennai Super Kings:
Chennai Super Kings are coming off a morale-boosting 10-wicket win over Kings XI Punjab on Sunday. They would be full of confidence coming into the game against KKR. CSK have managed to register two wins in 5 matches so far.
Key Players:
- Shane Watson
Shane Watson endured a poor run in his first four games of the tournament. The Austrian cricketer repaid the faith shown in him by the management in the fifth game. Watson played a sensational knock of 83 runs off 53 balls against Kings Eleven Punjab to help his team register a win after three consecutive losses. Expect him to play another such inning ahead of the game against KKR.
- Faf du Plessis
The South African cricketer has been in terrific form and is the leading run-getter for the franchise. He played another outstanding knock in the last game against KXIP. He amassed 87 runs off just 53 balls, including 11 fours and 1 six. We would recommend you to consider him while choosing your captain and vice-captain of your fantasy team.
- Ambati Rayudu
Ambati Rayudu played two terrific knocks in the first two games of the tournament. He is easily the second-best batsmen in the team as far as the current form is concerned. He would be a man to look out for ahead of KKR clash.
Kolkata Knight Riders:
Sunil Narine’s failure has been the biggest cause of concern for the team right now. Moreover, the skipper Dinesh Karthik too hasn’t fired in the tournament yet. Andre Russell, too, has been struggling to play match-defining knocks. Skipper has been subject to a lot of criticism lately over his captaincy decisions. It will be interesting to see with what plan does he come in an important clash against CSK.
Key Players:
- Andre Russell
If Kolkata Knight Riders want to come back in the tournament, Andre Russell has to play some match-winning knocks in the coming games. He is expected to play a vital role for the franchise going forward in the tournament.
- Eoin Morgan
In whatever position Eoin Morgan has been asked to bat, Morgan has delivered for the team. One of the vital cogs in your fantasy team, he should make into your fantasy eleven.
- Shubhman Gill
Gill has played a couple of valuable knocks at the top of the order for the side. He has been amongst the runs and will get complete 20 overs to play in the tournament. Gill can contribute immensely in your fantasy team if he gets going against CSK. Shubman Gill has scored 152 runs in 4 matches at an average of 50.67 in the tournament so far.
