Today i.e. on Tuesday, 14th April, Chennai Super Kings is going to face Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2026. CSK played on this ground a few days ago Delhi Capitals They had broken their losing streak by registering a spectacular win against and they would like to continue this winning streak further. The biggest positive for CSK in that match was that Sanju Samson came into form.
In such a situation, even before this match, all eyes will be on star batsman Sanju Samson. However, KKR will try to get Samson out early and in this episode, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan has tried to tell Kolkata about Sanju Samson’s weakness. Irfan has told that KKR has a trump card which can be useful against Sanju Samson.
Irfan Pathan said in a video on his YouTube channel, “Against Sunil Narine, he (Sanju Samson) has been out three times. He has faced around 80 balls in total and his strike rate against him is only around 80. He finds it difficult to score runs and play big shots against him. It will be interesting to see how quickly Kolkata brings Sunil Narine in to bowl against Sanju Samson and How does Samson face him? On this Chepauk pitch, where there is more bounce, you can play more comfortably on the backfoot.
It is noteworthy that the last match between these two teams was played on the ground of Kolkata in the last IPL season in which Chennai Super Kings team achieved the target of 180 runs in 19.4 overs and defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 2 wickets. In this match, Dewald Brevis had a stormy half-century of 52 runs in just 25 balls.
