The 33rd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) is to be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
Chennai Super Kings are showing their true class, for which they are known they have regained their winning streak and are coming off a spectacular win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match.
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders have lost their momentum after winning initial matches. They are on a losing streak and have lost 3 matches consecutively, they lost to Delhi Capitals shockingly in their last match.
Let’s look at some of the key players’ battles:
1. Ruturaj Gaikwad vs Umesh Yadav
Ruturaj Gaikwad is one of the strong pillars of CSK’s batting unit, as he is able to score runs consistently at a good rate for the team. With Ruturaj getting into form, things are getting pretty much easy for the team. It would be interesting to see how he plays against Umesh Yadav, as the latter has managed to dismiss him before at this venue.
2. Devon Conway vs Sunil Narine
Devon Conway displayed an epic piece of performance against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last match by scoring a match-winning knock of 77 runs not out. Things are getting quite interesting here, as it would be exciting to see how he plays against Sunil Narine.
3. Venkatesh Iyer vs Ravindra Jadeja
Venkatesh Iyer is the top batter for Kolkata Knight Riders, as he is in good form and scoring runs at a good strike rate. It would be really interesting to witness the battle between Iyer and Jadeja, as the latter is in top-notch form and picking wickets at regular intervals.
Both teams would be looking to perform significantly well for this game, whereas KKR would be hoping to end their losing streak and get things back on track.
