Chennai Super Kings win the toss and opt to bowl first against at Eden Gardens. Good news for Kolkata Knight Riders fans! Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine are back after missing their previous home game against Delhi Capitals! And Andre Russell is fit to take the field. Expect some fireworks today! Lockie Ferguson misses out and KKR brings back Harry Gurney. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings are unchanged.
Dinesh Karthik KKR captain "It's important to hit the right areas for the bowlers. It's been a flat wicket and it's difficult to take wickets here. Lynn and Narine are back and Gurney is back too. Looking forward to this game."
MS Dhoni CSK Captain "We'll bowl first. If you see the wickets have been good over here. It's difficult to contain the batsmen here, hence we need the opposition to put runs. We have had a few niggles and concerns but not worried about that. Hoping Bravo comes back as soon as possible as he gives a balance to our side. Without him being there, we need to find the right balance. I think we are a good space. We are playing with the same squad."
Kolkata Knight Riders Playing XI: Sunil Narine, Chris Lynn, Robin Uthappa, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik (w/c), Andre Russell, Shubman Gill, Piyush Chawla, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, Harry Gurney
Chennai Super Kings Playing XI: Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni (w/c), Ravindra Jadeja, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Imran Tahir
