KKR vs CSK Today Match Prediction, IPL 2023, Who Will Win the Match?
Chennai Super Kings
KKR look extremely depleted as none of the players are playing in tandem. The pace bowling department looks off colours and the entire pressure comes on the spinners.
Unlike CSK where everyone contributes in some way, KKR are heavily dependent on individual performances.
For these reasons, we feel that CSK are firm favourites ahead of this IPL 2023 game.
