The finalists of the 2012 and 2021 editions, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) go toe-to-toe in Match No. 61 of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on a doubleheader Sunday, May 14, 2023, at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai at 7.30 PM IST. The Super Kings beat the Knight Riders by 49 runs when both sides met earlier in the reverse fixture in Kolkata. However, before the game goes live, here is a look at the CSK vs KKR head-to-head record.

But before jumping into the head-to-head record of the two let us see how these two sides have performed in IPL 2023 so far.

CSK in IPL 2023

The four-time champion CSK is truly playing like the second-most successful franchise in the history of the league. The Men in Yellow have played 12 matches so far with 7 victories and 4 defeats. Their one game with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ended on no result. With 15 points and a net run rate of +0.493, they are in the second position in the table. (All scenarios till Match No. 57)

Chasing 168, Manish Pandey and Rilee Rossouw scored 27 and 35 runs respectively with the rest of the batting line-up failing to deliver.

KKR in IPL 2023

It's been a disappointing season for the 2012 and 2014 IPL winners KKR as they have played 12 games so far with just 5 wins and 7 losses. With 10 points and an NRR of -0.357, they are placed in the seventh spot in the table. (All scenarios till Match No. 57)

Last Match: KKR played their last encounter against RR in Match No. 56 in Kolkata where spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal proved too much for the home side.

Skipper Sanju Samson won the toss as RR opted to bowl first. Venkatesh Iyer scored a half-century (57) and was the only player to cross the 25-run mark for his side. Spinner Yuzvendra Chahal scripted history as he went past Dwayne Bravo's tally of 183 wickets in the league. The leading-wicket taker of the IPL picked up figures of 4/25 (4) as KKR got restricted to 149/8 in 20 overs.

In reply, Jaiswal made a mockery of the target as he hammered an unbeaten 98 off just 47 which included 13 fours and 5 maximums. Samson also remained not out on 48 off 29 as the Royals reached the target in just 13.1 overs. Jaiswal was adjudged with the Player of the Match award for his sensational hitting.
