The form of Devon Conway (468 runs) has been a huge factor for Chennai’s upsurge while Tushar Deshpande (19 wickets) has been a revelation with the ball.

MS Dhoni had a knee injury in the last match and this could be a question of risking him or resting him for the upcoming battles.
Kolkata Knight Riders Form
Kolkata Knight Riders are 7th in the standings ahead of this weekend fixtures with ten points from 12 matches. They were ambushed by the Royals in the last match by nine wickets, complicating their chances.
Three batters have aggregated 200+ runs for Kolkata this season but none have gone beyond 258. With the ball, if not for Varun Chakaravarthy (17) and Suyash Sharma (10) they would have been knocked out long back.
The challenge for Kolkata now is to bounce back quickly from that stunning loss at the hands of the Royals in their last match.
