Xtra Time Web Desk : Two time Indian Premier League Champions Kolkata Knight Riders will kick start their campaign on Saturday against the defending champions Chennai Super Kings in what would be a repeat of last year’s final.
The epic rivalry between these two heavyweight franchises have always been a treat to watch from the fans perspective. But from the statistical point of view, the Whistle Podu has had the ascendancy over their rivals.
Whether the number of titles or the head to head stats (17 : 8 in favour of CSK), MS Dhoni’s franchise has always had the advantage, with 4 IPL trophies compared to the 2 that Shah Rukh Khan’s franchise have won till date.
But this time, with a new superstar skipper in Shreyas Iyer, the Kolkata franchise will be looking to turn the stats upside down.
Total Matches : 26
CSK Won : 17
KKR Won : 8
N/R : 1
