KKR broke their purse in the Mega auction to get Shreyas Iyer on board as the team’s captain. KKR look more balanced now with the new captain and the retained players such as Andree Russel, Sunil Narine, and Venkatesh Iyer. This could make CSK vs KKR prediction tougher than before. They showed faith in Nitish Rana, Pat Cummins, and Shivam Mavi and brought them back to add more strength to the squad.

Defending champions CSK have spent on the team’s prime bowling allrounder Deepak Chahar and the star all-rounder Dwayne Bravo. With the addition of Shivam Dubey, the team is full of all-rounders.
