IPL match today, CSK VS KKR: Team’s prediction, head-to-head, Chepack Pitch Report, Chennai Weather Update | Cricket news

Stand-in Captain MS Dhoni will lead the Chennai Super Kings against Ajinkya Rahane’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The CSK is currently ranked ninth, while the KKR point ranks sixth on the table.
On the eve of the match, CSK head coach Stephen Fleming has revealed that a elbow injury has dismissed Ruturaj Gikwad from the tournament.
An MRI confirmed that there was a elbow fracture in 28 -year -old Gikwad, Fleming said Dhoni would take over as captain for the remaining IPL.
“Unfortunately, Ruturaj Gikwad is going to be out of the tournament,” Fleming said. “(Gaikwad) was killed in Guwahati. He is working with the amount of pain.”
43 -year -old Dhoni led Chennai from 2008 to 2024, when he handed over the captaincy to Gaikwad.
He also handed over the captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja in 2022, but withdrew the leadership through the season after a link to disappointing results. Under Dhoni, CSK has won five IPL titles, last in 2023, as well as two Champions League trophies. Although the team made a disappointing start for the current season, lost four of their first five matches.
KKR, on the other hand, will be smart with its narrow loss against Lucknow super veterans three days ago, and will see the defending champions to return to the ways of winning before it is too late.
