  CSK vs KKR Live Score Updates: Kolkata Knight Riders opt to bowl

  Ajinkya Rahane: We'll bowl first. There were a lot of positives from the last game. We as a team played really well. It is about improving each game. This looks like a good wicket, won't change much. We are batting deep, so that's why we look to bowl first and chase things down. One change - Moeen Ali comes in for Spencer.

  MS Dhoni: We were looking to bat first as well. Quite a few occasions where we tried to chase it down and what we realised is that the wicket slows down a bit, so if you don't get a good start then the middle order comes under pressure. He has fractured something on his elbow, so he is ruled out of the tournament. It is important, we have lost too many matches and now it is important to do the basics right - have dot balls, take our catches. A couple of games we lost by big margins, but otherwise it was about the small things - about one over going for 20 runs.

  CSK vs KKR Live Score Updates: 

  With Gaikwad out of the tournament, the focus now shifts to who CSK will select to fill his spot in the XI. Although there are several choices available within the squad, Rahul Tripathi appears to be the frontrunner to replace his teammate. Another potential option could be the young wicketkeeper Vansh Bedi, who could provide stability to the middle order in lieu of a third pacer. It will be intriguing to see how CSK strategizes and adapts to this change in their lineup.

  CSK vs KKR Live Score Updates: 

  Aside from his impressive 97 against the Rajasthan Royals, Quinton de Kock has struggled in the tournament thus far. Rahmanullah Gurbaz put in a lengthy practice session the day before the game, and with his experience facing CSK's top bowler Noor Ahmad, the Afghan wicketkeeper could be allowed to shine. It wouldn't be surprising to see Moeen Ali utilized as their third spinner instead of Spencer Johnson.

  CSK vs KKR Live Score Updates: 

  At 43 years old, Dhoni continues to be a dependable power-hitter for CSK, especially towards the end of the batting order. KKR may consider strategically saving an over each from their spin twins to bowl to Dhoni. The seasoned player has struggled against Narine, with a strike rate of only 52.7 and being dismissed three times by Chakaravarthy in four innings. Additionally, Jadeja has also had difficulty facing Narine, with a strike rate below 100. These statistics further support KKR's decision to reserve a couple of overs for CSK's strong finishers.
