KKR Playing 11 vs CSK - IPL 2024, Match 22

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their fourth match of IPL 2024 in Chennai on April, 8. KKR have won all three matches so far. However, in Chennai Super Kings they have a formidable opposition who have a better head-to-head record against them.

Since winning against SRH at home, KKR have been on the move winning their next two games away from home. They dominated RCB in Bengaluru and then piled up the second-highest IPL score against Delhi Capitals.

In Phil Salt and Sunil Narine, they have some explosive openers. The decision to stick with Narine at the top has produced the results so far as he delivered two back-to-back Man of the Match performances.

Given they are playing against CSK at the Chepauk, KKR might make some tactical changes. They brought on Ankrish Raghuvanshi as the Impact Sub in the match against KKR, and Vaibhav Arora in the match against DC. They might go with SUyash Sharma as the Impact Player against CSK along with the spin twins Narine and Chakravarthy.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi

Raghuvanshi scored 54 on his IPL debut for KKR against Delhi Capitals. He played some delightful cricket shots and some copybook shots as well. With Nitish Rana suffering an injury, the youngster should get a longer run.

Shreyas Iyer (C)

Venkatesh Iyer

Mitchell Starc

Starc came back with two wickets against Delhi Capitals after going wicketless in the first two games. He will have a key role to play against CSK and needs to keep up his wicket-taking form for KKR.

Harshit Rana

Rana will slot in at nine. He is known to be a good batter in domestic cricket down the order. He bowled KKR to victory against SRH. Against DC, he did not bowl as he had a shoulder niggle.

Vaibhav Arora

Arora was used as an Impact player against DC. However, he can be drafted into the playing XI. In his very first game this season, he took three wickets for KKR.

Varun Chakravarthy

Chakravarthy concludes KKR's probable playing XI against CSK. He took three wickets in the match against DC and has dismissed MS Dhoni thrice in his IPL career.
