CSK kicked off their IPL 2024 campaign strongly with victories in two home games against RCB and GT. However, they suffered consecutive losses on the road, highlighting the importance of bouncing back. Another defeat could push them out of the top 4 in the points table, making the upcoming match against KKR crucial. The 2-time champions, KKR, enter the game on a 3-match unbeaten streak, posing a formidable challenge for the Super Kings.
