Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 15 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, on Wednesday, 21 April.
Team News
Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Brendon McCullum has confirmed the availability of Sunil Narine, who missed the first three games due to an injury. He is likely to replace Shakib Al Hasan in the starting line-up. As the action shifts to pace-friendly conditions of Mumbai, Lockie Ferguson may get a chance.
Jason Behrendorff is undergoing a mandatory quarantine after arriving this week from Australia. Meanwhile, Lungi Ngidi, now available for selection, may replace Dwayne Bravo. Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali and Sam Curran will be the other three foreigners to feature in the Chennai playing XI. Ruturaj Gaekwad’s form continues to remain a major concern for them.
