CHE vs KOL Dream11 prediction, IPL 2023: Fantasy Suggestions, Predicted Playing 11, impact substitute options

Chennai Super Kings (15 points in 12 games) will be aiming to go top of the table as they have a chance to pip table-toppers Gujarat Titans by a point. Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, have a slim chance of making the playoff with just 10 points in 12 games and could become easy prey for the hosts in their current form.

The head-to-head favours MS Dhoni’s side too as the Super Kings lead 18-9 and have won four of the last five encounters between them. In their last meet, Chennai made a lightwork of Kolkata about three weeks ago with a 49-run win.

CHE vs KOL injury update

CHE injury updates There’s no update on Sisanda Magala, Ben Stokes and Simarejeet Singh’s recovery from respective injuries.

CHE key players The Chennai top-order has been in good form with all of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube scoring runs this season. Down the order, the batting opportunities have been limited for the likes of Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni.

Jadeja and Ali have been important on Chidambaram’s surface with their spin bowling with the former taking 16 wickets so far. Matheesha Pathirana has become the side’s death bowler and was instrumental in the last win with a three-wicket spell.

Tushar Deshpande went wicketless in the last game but is in the run for the Purple Cap with 19 wickets. Deepak Chahar continued his good run since his return from injury with four wickets in two games.

Out of form Ambati Rayudu is having a miserable IPL but did score a 17-ball 23 in the last game.

KOL injury update Umesh Yadav is available for selection after missing matches since April 26. Venkatesh Iyer might not play the game after struggling with his ankle in the last game.

KOL key players Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh have been among the key performers for the side while Jason Roy, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Venkatesh Iyer have struggled to show consistency. However, the latter did score a half-century in the last game. Andre Russell has been in good form of late but mostly bats down the order.

Among bowlers, Varun Chakravarthy has been the only performer with 17 wickets while young pacers Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana have bowled decently after Kolkata’s experienced pacer misfired this season. Spin understudies Suyash Sharma and Anukul Roy have been good additions but haven’t been matchwinners yet.

Out of form Sunil Narine has picked just a wicket in eight games while the likes of Umesh, and Lockie Ferguson have struggled to perform and have lost their place in the line-up.
