KKR vs CSK Eden Gardens Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Eden Gardens has been on the drier side in the ongoing season and has assisted the spinners, along with the fast bowlers, once the ball gets old.
Having said that, there have been certain occasions where the surface has played in favour of the batters, with them targeting the short square boundaries.
The nature of the wickets depends a lot on dew. If the game is affected by dew, then it is difficult for the bowlers to extract any kind of help that the wicket might have provided in normal circumstances.
If we talk about the surface used for the last match played at this particular venue between KKR and RR, it had a good amount of help for the spinners, with the slow bowlers of both teams making the most of it.
The wicket is expected to be no different for KKR's upcoming game against five-time champions CSK, with the two sides having a good quality of spin at their disposal.
All things said, there can be a case where the curator decides to offer a batting-friendly wicket, which could play in favour of KKR, considering the form of the team's batting lineup.
A total of 99 IPL games have been played at the Eden Gardens, which is the home ground of KKR and has witnessed several memorable matches.
Out of the 99 games, the team batting first has won 42 matches, while the chasing team has won 56 matches.
The highest successful chase at this ground is 262/2 by the Punjab Kings against the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2024.
Both teams will look to register a win in the upcoming game, where they will take on each other at the home ground of the Kolkata Knight Riders.
It would be interesting to see if CSK can continue the aggressive batting approach against KKR, a glimpse of which they have given in the last couple of games.
Conclusion
KKR would like to replicate the performance that they delivered in all three departments of the game against RR and clinch an important win in the context of their chances of defending the title.
CSK would want to win the game against KKR to salvage some pride by not finishing at the bottom of the table and to identify their combination for the next edition.
