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.

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

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.
