Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Eden Gardens in a must for the local team. One of the concerns for KKR is whether Venkatesh Iyer will be available for this game or not.
KKR is currently sixth in the points table with 11 points of 11 games. A victory in this match will keep their hopes of playoffs alive. But if they lose, they will probably be out of the race and will have to trust other results results to go to their favor.

Concern about Venkatesh Iyer lesions before CSK’s clash
Venkatesh Iyer was injured during the last game against Rajasthan Royals, and it is not confirmed if he will play today against Chennai Super Kings. He looked with pain, called the physio and left the field during the game against RR.
Until now, Iyer has not worked as expected this season. Bought for INR 23.75 million rupees, it has scored only 142 races in seven tickets, with only half a century. He has mostly hit in the average order in number five, where he has not faced many balls. Even when he had the opportunity, he could not have an impact.

Iyer could play as an impact player if he is not completely fit
This is a form in form for Iyer, who was a key player in the victory for the KKR title last season. If it is not suitable for playing, it could be a setback for KKR.
In that case, Luvnith sisodia or Manish Pandey could have a chance, or Iyer could be used as an impact player, arriving just to hit.
