Kolkata Knight Riders v Chennai Super Kings - IPL 5 - Toss Report
In the 63rd match of the ongoing lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL), defending champions Chennai Super Kings have won the toss against Kolkata Knight Riders and chosen to field first at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
Sitting at fourth place on the points table, Chennai are eager to grab a win from this fixture to make a place among the top four teams, improving their chances of making it to the playoffs of the mega event.
With Royal Challengers Bangalore still defiant in the tournament and just behind them, Chennai have their work cut out for them as they would not want to go behind RCB, which will jeopardize their place in the remainder of the tournament.
Meanwhile, KKR, who are the number-three team at the moment, would be looking to overthrow http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils.

One the other hand, KKR will be relying on skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JH-Kallis-c1692 and Yusuf Pathan to steer their side.
Pitch Report:
The wicket at Eden Gardens, Kolkata has been perfect for T20’s, but with all the showers almost throughout the day, there is definitely more moisture now on the field which will probably make things a lot harder for the bowlers, and at the same time batsmen will need to hit most shots out of the park in order to reach the boundaries with the wet outfield slowing down the ball.
Teams:
Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): 1. Gautam Gambhir(c), 2. Brendon McCullum (w), 3. Jacques Kallis, 4. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunil-Philip-Narine-c91869, 11. Marchant de Lange
Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): 1. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shadab-Jakati-c2475, 11. Ben Hilfenhaus
