Out of MS Dhoni's 200 dismissals as a wicketkeeper in the IPL, 153 are catches while 47 are stumpings
KKR kept their playoff hopes alive with a thrilling one-run victory over Rajasthan Royals. Currently placed sixth on the table with five wins and five losses, they must win all their remaining games.
Iyer's performance took a huge dip in IPL 2025 as, so far, in the 11 matches he has played for KKR, he has scored only 142 runs at an average of 20.29.
In a historic performance in November 2024, Patel smashed a 28-ball century against Tripura in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, setting the record for the fastest T20 century by an Indian.
Winning Score at Eden Gardens Stadium (in IPL 2025): 1st Inns score 200 or above: Mts - 3, Bat 1st Won - 3, Bat 2nd Won - 0, 1st Inns score less than 200: Mts - 2, Bat 1st Won - 1, Bat 2nd Won - 1
Despite their current form, CSK has traditionally dominated KKR in head-to-head matchups and will look to continue that trend.
MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings come into this encounter after suffering their fourth straight loss. Already out of playoff contention, the five-time champions now have a chance to play party spoilers.
Crowd favourite Mahendra Singh Dhoni skipped practice for the second consecutive day as fans thronging the Eden Gardens on Tuesday faced disappointment again. However, his ardent supporters took solace from Chennai Super Kings bowling coach Eric Simons' confirmation about the talisman's participation in Wednesday's Indian Premier League match against Kolkata Knight Riders, a must-win outing for the home team. Simons said the 43-year-old Dhoni is "fine" and "will play" the game, which could be his last competitive outing at the hallowed venue. "Yes, he's expected to play tomorrow," said Simons, explaining that Dhoni knows exactly how to manage his preparation. "With regards to MS, he knows his situation very well. He knows where he is. In terms of his preparations, he always works very hard at the beginning of a tournament and then allows himself to taper off because he gets himself in a space where he's ready. "So no issues, he just knows when he is prepared and when he's not."
