Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Travel south to capture Chennai Super Kings (CSK) In match 22 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai Tuesday, April 14.
KKR remains the only team to taste victory in this year's tournament. After four matches played, the three-time champions have just one point, which came due to a rain-affected game against Punjab Kings at the Eden Gardens.
The Ajinkya Rahane-led side suffered their latest defeat at the hands of Lucknow Supergiants in a last-over thriller. LSG needed seven runs from the last two balls to win their first game of the new season with KKR favourites. However, Mukul Choudhary had other ideas, saving victory from the jaws of defeat by hitting a six off the last ball of Vaibhav Arora.
Despite their poor form in the tournament, KKR are slowly finding their ideal playing XI. Their batting has been in some good form but they will need to deliver a strong performance with their bowling against CSK if they want to secure their first two points of the 2026 season.
Here is KKR's strongest predicted XI vs CSK, Match 22, IPL 2026:
Top order: Finn Allen, Ajinkya Rahane (C), Cameron Green

Number three also remains a controversial topic for KKR. Depending on the starts given by their opening batsmen, the management may send in either Cameron Green or Angkrish Raghuvanshi. The latter has scored 155 runs in four innings at a strike-rate of 158.16.
