Chennai Super Kings will attempt to carry forward their winning momentum when they host Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday. CSK come into the contest after securing their first victory of the season, while KKR remain winless and under pressure.
The previous win came through a strong collective effort against Delhi Capitals, with standout batting supported by disciplined bowling that successfully defended a total of 212. The inclusion of Dewald Brevis has also provided CSK with improved squad balance and tactical flexibility.

Will MS Dhoni Play Today?
Attention, however, remains on MS Dhoni’s availability. The veteran wicketkeeper-batter is still recovering from injury and is unlikely to play despite returning to the nets for light practice sessions. He has not yet resumed full-intensity training or wicketkeeping drills, and is expected to miss his fifth consecutive match of the season.
Head coach Stephen Fleming has emphasized Dhoni’s continued off-field presence and influence within the team environment. As CSK aim to consolidate their revival, KKR will look to break their losing streak and secure their first points of the season in what promises to be a crucial early IPL encounter.
