KKR vs CSK Probable Winners:

Kolkata Knight Riders have exceptional talent at their disposal in the form of – Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, and Jason Roy yet none of them have come alive in the first six games consistently. On the other hand, CSK’s batting order might not be as lethal as other franchises yet their top order has been delivering in every game. Moreover, the likes of Ravindra Jadeja, Maheesh Theekshana, and Moeen Ali also provide depth to their bowling attack. This is just why we pick Chennai Super Kings to beat Kolkata Knight Riders. Considering the team combination, Chennai Super Kings are expected to win this match.
