CSK vs KKR Match Preview
IPL fever has returned, and both the fans and the players are ecstatic. The 15th season of the IPL will begin on Saturday and will be contested across four grounds in Mumbai and Pune. In the first match, reigning champions Chennai Super Kings will face Kolkata Knight Riders in a rematch of last year’s final.
In an unexpected turn of events, MS Dhoni stepped down as captain and will now play only for the Chennai Super Kings, leaving Ravindra Jadeja with big shoes to fill. Moeen Ali, an overseas star, arrived on Thursday and will miss the opening. Ruturaj Gaikwad, the Orange holder from last year, will seek to prolong his fairytale run this year as well. Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, took a different approach in the big auction and acquired interesting players. Shreyas Iyer, a Mumbai sensation, has been named captain. Ajinkya Rahane is expected to start with Venkatesh Iyer. They have a 1-4 win-loss record versus CSK in the previous 5 encounters and want to narrow the margin of defeat.
