In Match 33 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), the two teams that finished first in the 2021 season, are scheduled to face off. The much-anticipated experience will be played at the Eden Nurseries in Kolkata on Sunday, April 23.
After a fair beginning to their mission, KKR have lost themselves a piece and will enter the game against CSK on the rear of two progressive losses. They have only four points from six games, putting them eighth in the table. In contrast, the Super Kings are third in the table with eight points from six games and have won their last two games. They could rise to the top of the table with a victory tonight.
Each IPL game offers both taking an interest groups an opportunity to arrive at a specific achievement. Consequently, a few records are nearly being broken during the impending game too. On that note, we should investigate the main three tourist spots that could be arrived at in the present KKR versus CSK apparatus.
3) 600 T20 fours could be completed by Ajinkya Rahane.
Ajinkya Rahane, one of the IPL’s most underrated batters, could reach a significant personal milestone against KKR on Sunday. Having amassed 5,778 stumbles into 221 T20 innings, Rahane has bludgeoned a sum of 598 fours in the briefest organization of the game. The Mumbai-born youngster will reach 600 T20 fours with two more boundaries, making him the eighth Indian batsman to reach this milestone.
In addition, he has scored 443 of his 598 T20 fours in the IPL. This means that Rahane will become the seventh Indian batsman to score 450 IPL fours if he hits seven boundaries against his former team, KKR.
2) Nitish Rana could become the first Indian player for KKR to hit 100 sixes.
Nitish Rana, who has been with the Knight Riders since 2018, is a player who enjoys taking the game to the opposition and doesn’t shy away from hitting boundaries in the middle overs as well. Rana has scored 1898 runs in 76 innings for KKR thus far. In those innings, the current captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders has also struck 96 sixes.
He is just four sixes away from hitting 100 for his team, making him the first Indian cricketer to accomplish this feat for the franchise. Rana has more sixes for KKR than Andre Russell (179).
1) MS Dhoni may become the second player for CSK to score 4500 runs.
MS Dhoni, a name that is synonymous with CSK, is another player who will be close to achieving a milestone in tonight’s match at Eden Gardens. Dhoni is the second-highest run-getter in CSK history, scoring 4,463 runs over 183 innings at an average of 40.5.
Another 37 runs would take his count to 4,500, accordingly making him just the second-ever cricketer after Suresh Raina (4,687) to arrive at the 4500-run mark for CSK.
