It is reported that Ben Stokes is free from injury in the Chennai line-up. Stokes batted for a long time in the nets. But Dhoni may not be ready to make changes in the playing XI. He used the young pacers effectively in the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mahesh Thikshana or Moeen Ali are unlikely to be left out as the pitch at Eden Gardens will support spinners and pacers alike.
On the other hand, Kolkata will be hoping for a good performance from Jason Roy, who has been named in the playing XI. Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakraborty are not performing like they should be, giving Kolkata a headache.
Potential team
Kolkata Knight Riders: Jason Roy, N Jagadeesan (WK), Venkatesh Iyer/Suyash Sharma, Nitish Rana (C), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shardul Thakur, Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakraborty
Chennai Super Kings : Ruturaj Gaekwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu/Matheesha Pathirana, Shivam Dubey, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (C&WK), Mahesh Thiksha, Tusshar Deshpande, Akash Singh
