The 21st match of the 13th season of the Indian Premier League will be played in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday in which the Kolkata Knight Riders will take on the heavyweights Chennai Super Kings. For both KKR and CSK teams, this match is going to be important because KKR has not yet come up with the level of performance it was expected from them, despite having its own players.
