IPL 6: Match 26 - KKR vs CSK - A statistical preview
In the ten matches played between the two teams, the Chennai Super Kings enjoy a slight edge as they have six wins in their kitty. Especially at Kolkata, stats heavily favour Chennai as they have won three of the last four matches against the hosts.
The last time these two teams were pitted against each other was in the memorable final of IPL 2012 when KKR, inspired by Manvinder Bisla, chased down a mammoth 191 with two balls to spare!
Sachithra Senanayake, the new mystery kid on the block, has picked up 50 wickets in 36 T20 matches and has an impressive economy rate of 6.05.
The last time Yusuf Pathan scored a fifty in the IPL was way back on 26th March, 2010.
The Kolkata Knight Riders have so far been very efficient against the spinners in IPL this season; they’ve only lost four wickets (out of a total of 31 wickets) to spinners so far this season.
What’s next in store for teams: The Kolkata Knight Riders will stay at home to host the Mumbai Indians on April 24.
Meanwhile, Chennai Super King will fly home after this match to host the Rajasthan Royals on April 22.
