Ruturaj Gaikwad up against Shreyas Iyer as we look at IPL 2024 CSK vs KKR best playing 11 and dream fantasy lineups for both teams.

It’s match 22 of TATA IPL 2024, and we have the clash of the toppers, Chennai Super Kings taking on the Kolkata Knight Riders at CSK’s home den, Chennai. Both teams are currently at the top of the table. While KKR are in second position with three wins from three games, CSK, even after losing the recent two games are in third position with two wins from four games.

It hasn’t been a good outing for CSK in the last two encounters. The team has lost their last two away encounters vs Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. While CSK still have two wins from four games, they would like to get back to winning ways, and what better opportunity to play in their home den, Chennai? However, they are up against a high-flying KKR team, so things may not be that easy for them. 

Meanwhile, for Kolkata Knight Riders, it has been a dream start for the team in IPL 2024 with three wins from three games The Gautam Gambhir magic seems to be working for KKR, and now he is up against one of his favorite opposition, CSK. KKR are coming hard at all teams, and even though they are playing in Chennai vs CSK, they will make things extremely difficult for CSK to win.

Chennai Super Kings Best Playing 11 vs KKR

Chennai Super Kings, in their last match, were without the services of their two most important bowlers, Mustafizur Rahman and Matheesha Pahtirana. While Fizz was ruled out due to Visa formalities for T20 World Cup 2024, Pathirana was sidelined due to injury. However, both are expected to be fit for the KKR game. So, expect these two to take the place of Moeen Ali and Maheesh Theekshana respectively. 

Overall, one of the main reasons for CSK to lose the last two encounters is the form of Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Both were unable to get going in the last two matches, and as a result, CSK didn’t get the start they expected. But with Chennai Super Kings playing at home, they must be hoping both Rachin and Ruturaj get back to form.
