Chennai Super Kings' captain Ruturaj Gaikwad wins the toss and chooses to field against Kolkata Knight Riders.

At 7 pm, both captains will meet at the ground for the toss before the commencement of the match

CSK's captain Ruturaj Gaikwad must step up, particularly in the powerplay, to make a mark after a slow start.

KKR's Sunil Narine, a pivotal figure with his dual role as opener and bowler, is a standout performer to watch tonight.

In 66 matches at MA Chidambaram Stadium, CSK has won 47, lost 18, and tied one game.

Gautam Gambhir's mentoring at KKR proves fruitful. He convinced Sunil Narine to open, leading to match-winning performances against DC and RCB.

Knights bring momentum from consecutive victories against SRH (by four runs), RCB (by seven wickets), and DC (by a record-breaking 106 runs), enhancing their strength under Shreyas Iyer's leadership.

Chennai's match-day temperature: 31°C, stable. No rain expected; high humidity at 82%. Wind speed: 21 km/h

MA Chidambaram Stadium's pitch, historically favoring spinners, appears balanced early in the season, aiding both batsmen and pace bowlers. Mustafizur Rehman shone with a five-wicket haul. Spinners claimed only two wickets in two games; pacers dominated with 16. As the season progresses, spinners may gain prominence. Both KKR and CSK boast strong spin attacks.

CSK leads 19-11 in 31 meetings with KKR, with one game inconclusive. Recent battles are evenly contested, CSK winning three, KKR two, including KKR's last win by six wickets
