Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders IPL T20 Match Prediction
Get to Know Who will win CSK vs KKR IPL T20 match and toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, Dream11 Prediction, Betting Rates, Live score & winning percentage.
Ruturaj Gaikwad finished as the leading run scorer in the 2021 IPL and is our tip for CSK’s highest run scorer in this match. With the ball, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja took 13 wickets last season and the spinner is well worth backing as CSK’s top wicket taker against KKR.
Captain Shreyas Iyer struck 519 runs during the 2020 IPL before missing a large chunk of last season through injury. He is our pick for KKR’s highest run scorer in this game. Spinner Varun Chakravarthy has taken 35 wickets across the last two IPL seasons and is a strong choice for KKR’s top wicket taker against CSK.
CSK have plenty of match winners in their side and we expect to see a strong all-round performance from Ravindra Jadeja. He is our prediction for the Player of the Match Award.

CSK Team News & Playing 11
CSK Team News
The 2021 Champions will be looking to begin this campaign with as many of their star performers from last season in their XI. England all-rounder Moeen Ali’s visa is cleared after a long delay and he will join the team today but won’t be available for the 1st match. We expect to see New Zealand’s Devon Conway make his CSK debut in this match.
Just before the start of the season, MS Dhoni has handed over the captaincy to the all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja has been in terrific form lately jumping to the top spot in Test all rounders rankings after series against Sri Lanka.
CSK Key Players
Ruturaj Gaikwad - No player scored more runs than the CSK opener in last year’s tournament. He averaged 51.00 in 2020 and 45.35 in 2021.
Ravindra Jadeja - The all-rounder was brilliant for CSK last season and has been in fine form with bat and ball for India in recent weeks in the Test series against Sri Lanka.
Dwayne Bravo - The experienced all-rounder has now retired from international cricket but still has a huge amount to give to CSK. He took 14 wickets in last season’s IPL.
CSK Team Form
Last season, Chennai Super Kings ended the group stage with three successive defeats but then won both of their games in the knockout stage to lift the trophy.
CSK Predicted Playing 11
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja(c), Robin Uthappa, MS Dhoni (wk), Dwayne Bravo, Shivam Dube, Mitchell Santner, Chris Jordan, Tushar Deshpande
There were plenty of changes to the KKR squad ahead of IPL 2022 season with the biggest change coming in the captaincy position. Out has gone Eoin Morgan with Shreyas Iyer now leading the side. Australia captain Pat Cummins will miss this game as it comes too soon after the conclusion of the Test series in Pakistan.
KKR Key Players
Shreyas Iyer - The newly installed captain of KKR has been in fantastic form of late. He hit unbeaten scores of 57, 74 and 73 in the recent India v Sri Lanka IT20 series.
Andre Russell - The West Indian all-rounder struggled for consistency last season but still hit a half-century and took a 5-wicket haul. He is always a potential match-winner.
Varun Chakravarthy - The right-arm spinner made his international debut in July of last year and is a very consistent wicket-taking bowler in this tournament.
KKR Team Form
Although they lost the final, KKR won the previous four matches in the 2021 IPL. They began that tournament in very poor form and will be looking to start better this year.
KKR Predicted Playing 11
Shreyas Iyer (c), Ajinkya Rahane, Rinku Singh, Mohammad Nabi, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Sam Billings (wk), Tim Southee, Varun Chakravarthy, Umesh Yadav
CSK vs KKR Team Form in Last Five Matches
CSK : WWLLL
KKR : LWWWW
CSK vs KKR Head to Head
KKR were excellent at the end of last season and managed to come out with the victory across many must-win matches. CSK not only won the final in last season’s tournament but have beaten KKR in each of their last four meetings.
The bookies are expecting a very tight game to begin the 2022 tournament with KKR marginal favourites. However, we are backing the holders to come out on top.
Who will win CSK vs KKR IPL T20 Match?
CSK are without run machine Faf du Plessis this season and the absence of Moeen Ali and Deepak Chahar will mean that they are not at full strength. KKR will miss a player of the quality of Pat Cummins for this game but they have enough in all departments to give CSK a very close game.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway and Robin Uthappa are our batting tips for CSK. Conway has made a very impressive start to international cricket and we expect him to also excel in the IPL. Gaikwad has hit 80 fours and 29 sixes in his 22 IPL appearances.
Shreyas Iyer, Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana are our batting recommendations for KKR. In spite of India’s batting depth, no player has been in better form than Shreyas Iyer so far this year. Rana has struck 8 half-centuries in the last three IPL seasons and has hit 250 boundaries across his IPL career.
For CSK, Dwayne Bravo, Tushar Despande and Ravindra Jadeja are our bowling tips. Bravo and Jadeja are experts in this format and have plenty of variations. Across their IPL careers, Bravo has 167 wickets from 151 games, Jadeja has picked up 127 wickets from 200 games.
For KKR, Varun Chakravarthy, Tim Southee and Andre Russell are our bowling tips. Southee is a very experienced bowler who will keep the runs down as well as taking wickets. Chakravarthy has 36 wickets from 31 IPL games, Southee has 31 wickets from 43 games with Russell taking 72 from 84 games.
This should be an excellent fixture to get the 2022 IPL underway in Mumbai. Although both teams have not had a smooth build-up to this game, with disruptions caused by international matches, withdrawals, injuries and visas, we still expect an entertaining clash. Our prediction is for CSK to win a very close game.

I know CSK is the fav due to Dhoni factor and the stats but I do feel we cant underestimate KKR. Russell and Shreyas are players that have power to change the game. Somehow I feel predictions by experts will be proved wrong by KKR. Im curious though. #TeamKKR

CSK will most probably win as they have Ravindra Jadeja who is an all rounder and well Dhoni is still in as a wicket keeper.
