Chennai Super Kings are the defending champions of the IPL and are easily the most successful franchise in the history of the tournament. The team has been in a good form this season as well and are in the second spot right now. The fact the management made a quick change to the side after a loss, speaks volumes of their potential and that they are a well-oiled machine. Captain MS Dhoni too has been a good touch and will be looking lead his players to a fifth title in 9 years of being in the competition.
Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders have come out as the only team in the IPL so far who have a weakness. They have been thoroughly consistent as well as dominant in the first five games, and the only loss they faced was due to super over faux pas against Delhi Capitals. With superstars such as Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Dinesh Karthik, the team has a strong core of players who are looking to prove to everyone, that this franchise is back in business, and are ready to win it all.
Match Details:
Venue – MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, India
Date & Time – 9th April | 8:00 PM IST

The love and affection showed by them is amazing.” – AnbuDen #Thala ???????? pic.twitter.com/mXGVfgSp1s— Chennai Super Kings (@ChennaiIPL) April 7, 2019
