CSK Batsmen: Ruturaj Gaikwad for his explosive opening, consider MS Dhoni (if batting high in the order) for his experience.
CSK Bowlers: Deepak Chahar's swing bowling is a must-have. Ravindra Jadeja offers all-round value (if bowling well).
KKR Batsmen: Shreyas Iyer's consistency is crucial. Andre Russell is a high-risk, high-reward pick for his explosive batting.
KKR Bowlers: Mitchell Starc' pace attack is a top choice. Sunil Narine's mystery spin can be a game-changer.
This match promises excitement! CSK, seeking redemption at home (Chepauk), will face a confident KKR riding a winning streak. Experience clashes with youthful energy, making for an unpredictable encounter.
