Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 61st match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday (May 14). These two teams have faced each other once in the IPL 2023, where CSK defe♎ated KKR by 49 runs in a high-scori🀅ng affair.

Speaking of the last games of both teams, CSK emerged victorious agaﷺinst Deꩵlhi Capitals (DC) in their previous match, whereas the Kolkata-based team suffered a loss against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Ravindra Jadeja shined for the Chennai-based side in their win over DC as he scored quickfire 21 runs and also picked one wicket for his team in the contest. Shivam Dube also scored valuable 25 runs off 12 balls for Chennai. Meanwhile, Venkatesh Iyer was the lone warrior for KKR in their match against RR, scoring a resilient 57 runs off 42 deliverie൩s. However, Kolkata bowlers failed to defend the target, and their team eventually ended up losing.
