CSK aim to bounce back after two consecutive losses away from home against Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Their batting lineup, apart from Shivam Dube, has been struggling, with Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane, and Daryl Mitchell failing to contribute significantly. The absence of Matheesha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman in the bowling department affected their performance in the last game, but Pathirana is likely to return for the upcoming match.
On the other hand, KKR, led by Shreyas Iyer, have been in red-hot form, winning all three of their previous matches convincingly. With strong spinners in their squad, KKR is well-equipped to challenge CSK, especially in Chennai's spin-friendly conditions.

Pitch report
The Chepauk pitch displays wear and tear with a solid deck. As a result, it assists spinners as well as the pacers who have the variations at their disposal. Batters will have to fetch the runs from the relatively low bounce off the strip. On the weather front, there will be clear skies in Chennai on Friday evening, with temperatures hovering around 29 degrees. Humidity might be a factor for the teams as it does not seem to drop from 75 percent.
