IPL 2020, KKR vs CSK Preview: DK's Knights take on Dhoni's Super Kings

KKR are still in the top four after winning two matches out of their four encounters played so far, whereas CSK are sitting fifth with three defeats and two victories from their five matches.

Both teams have match-winning players but it would be interesting to see what combination they put out and all eyes will be on their batting line-up after much scrutiny from pundits and fans in the last couple of weeks. Nonetheless, it is going to be battle between youth and sheer experience given the average age of both the squads.
