In the 15th match of IPL 2021, Chennai Super Kings(CSK) will meet Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR) in Mumbai on Wednesday. While CSK is coming into this match with a win over Rajasthan Royals(RR), KKR lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore(RCB) in their previous game. 

Kolkata Knight Riders' batting lineup is more or less depending on how the top-order performs. Nitish Rana is so far KKR's best batsman followed by Rahul Tripathi. The middle-order has been flop despite the likes of Eoin Morgan and Dinesh Karthik in it. Andre Russell has had an average outing with the bat. However, Russell has been brilliant with the ball in the death overs. 

With a likely seaming wicket at Wankhede, Pat Cummins will come in handy with the ball. Prasidh Krishna could be the game-changer for Kolkata in seaming conditions. Harbhajan Singh has been used for the matchups and could be replaced by Kuldeep Yadav in this game. 

Chennai Super Kings batting has been good so far. Faf du Plessis has given some aggressive starts despite losing Ruturaj Gaikwad early in the innings in every match. However, the CSK management has backed Gaikwad to continue opening this season which means there might still be no place for Robin Uthappa in the playing XI. 

Moeen Ali has been the best player for CSK so far. He has been batting well top of the order and gives timely wickets with the ball. 

Ravindra Jadeja is another player who has given an all-round depth to CSK. Deepak Chahar will be crucial with the new ball. Dwayne Bravo, in the last match, gave a much-needed finish with the bat and is handy with the ball, he could be the X-factor for Chennai. It is unlikely that there will be any changes in the team. 

Chennai Super Kings has dominated Kolkata Knight Riders in the past. Considering the current form, CSK is looking slightly better side than KKR for this contest.
