CSK vs KKR: KKR to win the toss and choose to bat first

We expect the KKR captain, Ajinkya Rahane, to win the toss and select to bat first because KKR's top order is looking steady and in good form. They'll try to score in the first inning with the new wicket and defend it with bowlers. Also, the batting-first team performs better at this venue, so they will look to bat first in the upcoming match.

Chennai Super Kings Playing 11:

Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Rahul Tripathi, Shivam Dubey, Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni ©, Ravichandran Ashwin, Matheesha Pathirana, Khaleel Ahmed, Noor Ahmed.

CSK’s performance in this IPL is not so convincing, as they have already lost four matches. As Ruturaj Gaikwad is ruled out of the IPL 2025, we expect only one change: Rahul Tripathi will replace him in the playing XI.

Kolkata Knight Riders Playing 11:

Quinton de Kock (wk), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane ©, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy, Spencer Johnson, Vaibhav Arora.

KKR's overall team combination appears to be very stable, particularly their batting lineup; they have depth in the batting lineup up to number nine, as well as an in-form bowling attack, so we expect them to play with the same playing XI in the next match.

Chennai vs Kolkata Dream11 Prediction Impact Players List:

Chennai Super Kings impact players:

Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, and Noor Ahmad are the best players from the CSK side who have been performing consistently for their team in batting and bowling. So, in the upcoming match against DC, CSK will need to depend on these players if they want to perform better.

Kolkata Knight Riders' impact players:

Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane, and Varun Chakaravarthy are the clinically reliable match-winners from KKR who can turn the course of the match because of their impressive abilities.

CSK vs KKR Dream11 Team Today Stats:

• Devon Conway played an impressive inning of 69 runs off 49 balls, including 6 boundaries and 2 maximums, although his inning did not help his team to win the match as he got slow in the death overs, and as a result, CSK management took the decision to retire him out.
• Shivam Dube’s 42-run inning in 27 balls displayed his run-scoring abilities at a higher strike rate, as he can play attacking shots with ease and utilize his muscle power to hit the ball hard.
• Ajinkya Rahane scored 61 runs off just 35 balls, which provided Kolkata Knight Riders a fantastic stage for the run chase of 238 runs. Eventually, his team wasn't able to chase that massive total, but Rahane looked very confident and stable against LSG’s quality batting lineup.
• Venkatesh Iyer found his rhythm recently, as he played an important inning of 45 runs in just 29 balls, including 6 boundaries and 1 maximum.

Highest run scorers: Ajinkya Rahane (KKR)

Ajinkya Rahane is likely to be the top run scorer in the match between CSK and KKR, as he is looking in excellent form and scoring runs consistently for KKR.

Highest wicket-taker: Noor Ahmad (CSK)

Currently, Noor Ahmad leads the IPL 2025 in wicket-taking, and given Chennai's slow wicket, which primarily favors spinners, we anticipate that he could excel against KKR's batters.

• Devon Conway is playing with excellent intent as he is consistently scoring runs and taking charge on the bowlers in the initial phase of the game; his reliability makes him an ideal captaincy choice in the CSK vs. KKR Dream11 Prediction.
