On March 26th, these two teams will face off in the 1st match of the Indian Super League (IPL) at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Both the sides will be playing their first match of the season.
The Indian Premier League’s 15th season will kick off with a rematch of the previous final between Chennai and Kolkata. The most significant change in the make-up of these two teams is that MS Dhoni has stood down as captain and will be replaced by Ravindra Jadeja as the defending champions’ skipper.
Despite a massive auction, Chennai has managed to keep its core, which is based on experience rather than youth. Ruturaj Gaikwad, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, Deepak Chahar, and Dwayne Bravo will wear the yellow jersey once more, while Chris Jordan, Shivam Dube, and Devon Conway will provide quality alternatives.
Coming to Kolkata, Shreyas Iyer was the most expensive purchase for them in the auction, and he has been given the leadership role. After adding Alex Hales, Mohammad Nabi, Sam Billings, Umesh Yadav, Ajinkya Rahane, and Tim Southee to a roster that already had Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, and Nitish Rana, the team now appears to be stronger.
The most concerning reason for the Purple Army is that they have lost their previous eight matches at the Wankhede Stadium, and they will be seeking to break the trend, while Chennai will be looking to maintain their supremacy.

Top Picks from CSK vs KOL for Dream11 Fantasy Team:
Ruturaj Gaikwad was crowned as the Orange Cap holder in the previous edition of the IPL for his brilliance with the bat, scoring 635 runs at an average of 45.36. He was an integral part of the Chennai Super Kings’ title-winning campaign last year, with consistent performances at the top of the order. With Ruturaj Gaikwad being in decent form and capable of scoring big runs, he is a must-have in your CSK vs KOL Dream11 fantasy team.
Shreyas Iyer has also been in brilliant form lately on the Sri Lanka Tour to India, scoring three back-to-back unbeaten fifties. The Kolkata captain is capable of pacing his innings well and, given his record, he is one to watch out for in this game.
Ravindra Jadeja has been in standout form, scoring quick runs in the middle overs. In addition to being an enforcer with the bat in the middle overs, the Indian star all-rounder should come in handy with his off-spin too, making him a top pick. He can also be a great multiplier choice for your CSK vs KOL dream 11 fantasy team.
Andre Russell is one of the top all-rounders in the game, giving the Kolkata lineup balance and depth. He’s shown signs of what he can do in this format and should put in a good showing on a pitch that will suit his big-hitting abilities and smart variations.
Dwayne Bravo is one of the most consistent and reliable bowlers for Chennai. The right-hand fast medium wicket-taking ability should come in handy in this much-awaited game in Mumbai. He took 14 wickets in the previous season of the IPL and will be looking to replicate his performance this season.
