Brilliant kkr

Kolkata Knight Riders: Michael Clarke, the former Australia captain, believes a brilliant Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) could win over a struggling champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the clash at MA Chidambaram Stadium. However, Clarke cautioned against writing off CSK, citing the wealth of experienced players in their highly successful set-up.

Both CSK and KKR, ranked ninth and sixth respectively in the points table, come into Friday’s clash in IPL 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on the back of defeats in their respective last games.

CSK holds a commanding 19-11 head-to-head advantage over KKR in IPL history, giving them the initial edge to emerge victorious on Friday. However, a significant blow has struck them - captain Ruturaj Gaikwad’s season-ending elbow fracture injury means MS Dhoni will captain the team for the rest of the competition.
