CSK vs KKR: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will cross swords with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Match 22 of IPL 2024. The highly-anticipated fixture will get underway at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on April 8, Monday at 7:30 PM (IST).

The five-time IPL champions started their IPL campaign with back-to-back wins before they lost their sheen in the next two games. With 2 wins and 2 defeats, the Yellow Army are fourth on the league stage points table with four points at an NRR of +0.517.

On the contrary, KKR are in supreme form this season and they are one of the two teams that are yet to lose a game. Having played three games so far, they won 3 games and collected six points with a healthy NRR of +2.518.

The two-time IPL champions are second on the table and have a chance to top the table if they pull off a win over CSK. Let's take a glimpse at the four batsmen who can score the most runs in Match 22 of the tournament.

1. Ruturaj Gaikwad: CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad might have lost his mojo as a batter but he is just one good knock away from getting back to his best. The right-handed batter who has been one of the successful batsmen for CSK in the last three seasons scored 88 runs in the four games played so far. Nevertheless, he will be aiming to make a telling impact with the bat against KKR.

2. Phil Salt: KKR's opening batter Phil Salt has been pretty decent in providing starts to the team this season. The 27-year-old right-handed batsman who has solid experiences in the truncated version of the game is expected to make his presence count in the away fixture against CSK. Overall, he has amassed 102 runs in 3 games including a fifty this season.

3. Shivam Dube: It is worth noting that Shivam Dube has been the most consistent batter for CSK this season. The left-handed batter who smashed as many as 10 sixes in four games so far, will be looking forward to posing a serious threat to the KKR's bowling line-up. He is currently the leading run-scorer for CSK with 148 runs at a strike rate of 160.87.

4. Andre Russell: The Caribbean has caused all sorts of troubles to CSK in the past. The experienced T20 cricketer has scored 311 runs, including 4 fifties with his personal best score of an unbeaten 88 against CSK. Taking these statistics into account, it is highly likely that he will go all guns blazing in the upcoming game.
