Their opponent Chennai Super Kings(CSK) on the other hand, will play for their pride as the team had already disqualified from the ongoing tournament. They have nothing to lose from here, so under MS Dhoni's captaincy, CSK will play the natural game without any burden. Both sides will go with their best playing 11 for this crucial match.
It was the first time in IPL history when CSK doesn't even qualify for the semis and they are languishing at the bottom place with just four wins from 12 matches played so far.
Dubai's pitch will be slow and spin-friendly, so both the teams will be expecting their spinners to make it count especially KKR spinners like Varun Chakravarty and Narine.
