Both teams are currently at the bottom of the points table and are desperate for a win. CHE finally gained momentum after their recent victory, while KOL are still searching for their first win this season.
CHE will be boosted by the strong form of Sanju Samson and young batter Ayush Mhatre. Shivam Dube has also been consistent in the middle order. However, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad needs to step up.
KOL, on the other hand, have struggled in both departments. Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi have shown some fight, but the rest of the batting lineup has not delivered consistently. Their bowling unit has also leaked runs, which remains a major concern.
