Chennai Super Kings: Defending champions Chennai Super Kings have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Kolkata Knight Riders in match 22 of IPL 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here on Monday evening.
After back-to-back wins at Chepauk, CSK lost to Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad on the road to fourth place in the points table. Now on their return to home, they seek to get back to winning ways against second-placed KKR, who have won three matches in a row and are yet to lose a game in the competition.
CSK led 7-3 in the head-to-head record against KKR at Chepauk. But the last time these two teams met in Chennai last year, KKR won comfortably. The pitch for Monday’s clash is the one where CSK defeated the Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets in the tournament opener.
