KKR vs CSK: All you need to know, head to head. Probable XII

The 57th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to witness a high-stakes encounter as Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings prepare to cross paths on Wednesday at Eden Gardens. With the season nearing its climax, the significance of this clash is magnified, especially for KKR, who are in a must-win situation to keep their playoff hopes alive.
KKR enter this fixture with their backs against the wall. Currently outside the top four, sitting in sixth position, they must win all three of their remaining league games to have a realistic shot at qualifying for the playoffs. Any slip-up from here on could put them into danger.
On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings have already been knocked out of playoff contention. It's been a disappointing campaign for them, marred by inconsistency and underperformance from key players. However, with nothing to lose, CSK will be playing for pride—and to disrupt the plans of KKR.
