Clash of the titans: Key battles when CSK take on KKR

As the Chepauk Stadium stretches its arms in welcome to the Yellow Submarine after two years, the Kolkata Knight Riders are also in full mood to play party poopers. Both CSK and KKR got off to strong starts in the opening matches of their campaign and now will square off against each other in a mouth-watering clash at Chennai.

We lookat three key battles which will be fascinating to watch in the game and might just end up deciding which way the game swings:

#3 Raina's Aggression vs Narine's Guile

This will be one battle to savour. While Narine has come in the news for his batting exploits, his deliveries are still not the easiest ones to pick up. As he showed with McCullum's wicket his tendency to strike crucial blows is invaluable for the Knight Riders.

On the other end, Chepauk and spin is the combo which Suresh Raina has come to relish. The leftie boasts of a tremendous record at the stadium and when on top of his game, can take the game away in the blink of an eye.

Wll he be able to smash Narine out of the park or will the West Indian reign supreme with his deception and control?
