Chennai pitch report for CSK vs KKR match

The Chennai pitch in the first two games showed that it is a batting-friendly wicket, but not a wicket which would give teams a chance to score 200 every time. Thus, if bowlers keep it tight, they can also get good purchases off it as well. Thus a good battle between bat and ball is expected.
