CSK vs KKR pitch report: Red-hot Kolkata Knight Riders are set to clash against struggling Chennai Super Kings in the 22nd match of the Indian Premier League 2024 at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Monday.
Chennai kicked off their title defence with two impressive wins at home but failed to impress in away games against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals. They were restricted to just 165 against Delhi in the last match but have been excellent on home turf this season.
Shreyas Iyer-led Kolkata posted a record 272 against Delhi Capitals in the last match and won the game by 106 runs to register their third successive win of the season. Two more points will take Kolkata to the top of the IPL 2024 points table on Monday.
