Venkatesh Iyer to Devon Conway: Players to watch out for in CSK vs KKR IPL match

The Chennai Super Kings batter played a valiant knock of 69 runs before getting retired hurt in his side’s previous match against the Punjab Kings. Conway can go on to provide the Chennai-based franchise with a strong start and will definitely be a key player for them when they lock horns against the Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday.

The Kolkata Knight Riders skipper played a brilliant knock of 61 runs from just 35 deliveries for his side in their previous match against the Lucknow Super Giants. Rahane has turned out to be decent for the Kolkata-based franchise both as captain and batter so far in the ongoing IPL season. He will be looking to play another fine innings in KKR’s clash against the Chennai Super Kings.

The Chennai Super Kings wicketkeeper-batter is set to lead the side for the remainder of the season following an injury to regular skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, which saw him get ruled out of IPL 2025. Dhoni has been decent for the team with the bat so far in the ongoing season. He will be looking to end CSK’s losing streak with their clash against the Kolkata Knight Riders.

The Kolkata Knight Riders batter played an important knock of 45 runs in his side’s previous match against the Lucknow Super Giants. Venkatesh has been in great form in IPL 2025 and has so far done justice to his enormous price tag of INR 23.75 crore. He will be looking to play another valiant innings when he takes the field against the Chennai Super Kings on Friday.

The Chennai Super Kings spinner is the current holder of the Purple Cap with 11 wickets in 5 matches so far. Noor has proven to be highly impressive for the Chennai-based franchise, getting them important breakthroughs when they need it the most. He will be looking to once again rack up wickets when he comes up against the Kolkata Knight Riders’ batting order.

The Kolkata Knight Riders spinner is arguably the side’s most important bowler in the current squad. Chakravrthy has not only racked up many wickets this season but has also remained quite economical. Even when KKR conceded 238 runs in their previous match against the Lucknow Super Giants, Chakravarthy only gave away 31 runs in his 4-over spell.
