CSK vs KKR- IPL 2015, CSK vs KKR

The all-Indian bowling unit has infrequently been confirmed and the return to type of lead spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja augurs good for MS Dhoni's guys - principally with wickets expected to offer extra aid to the spinners because the tournament progresses. It can be a settled outfit which has hardly compelled MS Dhoni to ring in alterations. Will CSK scan tonight on a floor where they have got reeled off 8 wins in a row? Understanding MS, he might just be tempted to play the identical combo as soon as once more.
On type, both groups have looked very strong. Hosts CSK are on a roll and the loss to Rajasthan Royals has been the only blip to an or else flawless season. With five wins out of six fits, they are properly placed with 10 aspects, just one point beneath Rajasthan Royals, who've played two further suits. A lot of their strengths lie with their high-order. Dwayne Smith and Brendon McCullum have furnished electrifying starts and that has allowed the center order to consolidate during the core overs.

Brilliant Gayle ends KKR's winning streak

Chris Gayle has proved once again that the Indian Premier League is his real playground. The big West Indian smashed his way to a 56-ball 96 as Royal Challengers Bangalore brought an end to Kolkata Knight Riders' winning streak of 10 matches at the Eden Gardens on Saturday night.
When KKR posted a solid 177 in Match 4 of IPL 2015, RCB needed a special effort to get over the line against a very strong bowling unit. Gayle provided that - after some reckless shots had the tourists reduced to 93 for 4 in 11 overs. Thereafter, the left-hander took it upon himself to see the team home and even a partisan Kolkatan crowd could do nothing but bow down to his brilliance. One full-blooded shot after another from the blade of his bat meant RCB started their campaign with a thumping three-wicket win in 19 overs.
