In match 57 of the ongoing Indian Premier League, the Knight Riders will be squaring off against the Super Kings at the Eden Gardens. The reigning champions, detonating a slow start to the season, have in the past couple of weeks gathered some momentum. Chasing that momentum against CSK will be interesting for KKR, as now they need to win all their remaining games to stay in the playoff picture.
They are fortunate to have Captain Rahane doing the bulk of the scoring, along with Angkrish Raghuvanshi, but they need more players to stand up. Andre Russell scored his half-century against Rajasthan, but they need to see that kind of performance more often. The bowlers have stayed good, with the spin duo of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy doing wonders.
On the other hand, very little has come to the aid of Chennai this season. They are building for the future, which has led them to sign up Ayush Mhratre and Dewald Brevis.

Interestingly enough, the new rebels have done better than some of the players that were actually picked up during the auction. Mhatre is presently in fine form and will be looking to continue that form. The bowlers have been alright too, Khaleel Ahmed and Noor Ahmad have been okay, but they definitely can do better.
