Gambhir's Kolkata in front of Dhoni on the whirlwind pitch of Chennai, Ruturaj's team will return to victory at home on Monday?

KKR can top the league table if they win on Monday. But ahead of Chennai Super Kings. Playing at Chennai’s home ground. Kolkata can also become formidable on spin assisted pitches. Everyone is waiting to see the bone-chilling battle between Chennai and Kolkata.

Kolkata Knight Riders are unbeaten in the IPL so far. KKR can top the league table if they win on Monday. But ahead of Chennai Super Kings. Playing at Chennai’s home ground. Kolkata can also become formidable on spin assisted pitches. Everyone is waiting to see the bone-chilling battle between Chennai and Kolkata.

Kolkata has changed this time. Gautam Gambhir’s touch is seeing a big change in the plan. The return of Sunil Narine as an opener is telling. One after another sixes in the face of Nirbika. Maybe he will open against Chennai. But Kolkata will also need spinner Narine in this match. Spin is helpful along the Chennai pitch. Gambhira will want to use Narine, Varun Chakraborty, Suyash Sharma there.

Coach Chandrakant Pandit was in charge of Kolkata last time as well. But he could not make an impression in that way. Kolkata has changed to bring Gambhir together with him. On the other hand, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has stepped down as captain. He handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad.

But Gambhir and Dhoni will have a battle of wits in the Kolkata and Chennai matches. Two of India’s 2011 World Cup victories. Gambhir is reluctant to magnify Dhoni’s achievements behind India’s World Cup win. Will the cold fight be seen playing against the World Cup winning captain?

Chennai and Kolkata have met 29 times so far. Chennai has won 18 of them. On Monday, they will try to stop the horses of Ashwamedha in Kolkata. Chennai will definitely get some advantage as they are playing at their home ground. It goes without saying that Chipock Stadium will turn yellow. And when Dhoni comes to the field, words will be created. Kolkata will have to handle this audience with 11 cricketers from Chennai. But there are cricketers like Narine, Andre Russell, Shreyas Iyer, Mitchell Starc in the team.

Their experience is a great asset for Kolkata. And there is Rinku Singh. It can be said that Rinku will try with all his might even if there is a small chance of winning the match with the bat. On the opposite side, however, there is Dhoni, who was once India’s best finisher. At the end of his cricket career, however, this Dhoni is only a shadow of the past.

KKR and CSK will play the 22nd match of IPL on Monday. The match will start from 7.30 pm. The match will be shown on Star Sports and GeoCinema. There is only one match between these two teams in this year’s IPL.
