CSK vs KKR Key Players

Matheesha Pathirana

Matheesha Pathirana has been Dhoni’s trump card with the ball. Starting the season without a proper death bowling option Pathirana has come as a blessing to the side and he is doing a really good job controlling the death.

Jason Roy

Jason Roy has been providing KKR with the intent they were looking for upfront. He is scoring really well, and has been pretty consistent, allowing the KKR line-up to look a lot more dangerous with some dangerous stroke makers behind him.
