New Delhi:
The Indian Premier League, which began on April 7, will witness its fifth match on Tuesday with Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings locking horns with Dinesh Karthik-led Kolkata Knight Riders.
This will be the second match of both the franchisees and will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Chennai won over Mumbai Indians in the opening match of the league, while the Knight Riders won over the Delhi Daredevils in the second match of the league.

With an intense atmosphere in and around the stadium because of the Cauvery Management Board issue, the match will be one to look forward to, mostly because Super Kings will be playing for a win on its home ground.
However, Chennai Super Kings will play without their last-ball saviour Kedar Jadhav, as he is out of the league owing to a hamstring injury.
