PREVIEW FOR DREAM11 FANTASY:

Three-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings are out of the tournament and they’re just so proud to compete. Despite having a decent team, inconsistency in both bowling and batting cost them a playoff spot for the first time in IPL history.

But CSK is looking to the future, with the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sam Curran impressing in recent games. In reality, the three-time IPL champions are entering the game on the back of an astounding win against the RCB, and they’re looking forward to another win in their attempt to escape the wooden spoon this year.

KKR can take comfort from their victory against CSK in the in the reverse fixture, where Rahul Tripathi scored his first IPL 50 for the franchise. However, this time around, CSK will have no burden on their shoulders, which might make them even more of a threat to KKR’s playoff hopes in IPL 2020.
