Chennai: The Kolkata Knight Riders elected to bat against the Chennai Super Kings in their crucial game at the M Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday. Two of India's greatest skippers Sourav Ganguly and MS Dhoni clash on Tuesday as both teams look for a win to edge ahead in the race towards the three remaining semi-final spots. Kolkata is the only team not to make it to the semis in any of the three editions of the IPL.

The Super Kings dropped Michael Hussey, Thilan Thushara along with Sudeep Tyagi to bring back Albie Morkel, Muttiah Muralitharan and Anirudh Srikkanth.
