In the IPL 2019, the 12th season is running and after losing an only single match in whole season Chennai wants to win the match over KKR. In which Russell is in the best form and making all thing possible to snatch the match in ending from the opposite team.
If defending champion Chennai will play against Kolkata on Tuesday in the Indian T20 league match, then its focus will be on the dangerous batsman Andre Russell's curb on the bat.
Russell can play a decisive role in the match between the teams, which are well-versed with the best spinners. Both the teams have won four matches and are in excellent form. The eyes of both will be won by winning the match and going to the top of the table.
Today the match will be played in Chennai at M. Chidambaram Stadium from 8 o'clock.
CSK, who defeat Kings XI Punjab in Chennai on Saturday, will be wary of the Dinesh Karthik's KKR.
KKR recently hold the spot due to the best net run-rate after every win. Both the teams have certified their 4 wins from out of their five matches so far and have been in pretty impressive form.
CSK, on their part, brought in Faf du Plessis in place of the injured Dwayne Bravo and he made an immediate impact with a quality knock (54 off 38 balls). His contribution at the top will be crucial again.
Dhoni has been providing the thrust in the end overs in some style. The home crowd will be hoping that their 'Captain Cool' will once again be leading from the front.
