#4 High impact of spinners
The Chennai pitch is known for its spinning nature and the KKR spinner trio of Piyush Chawla, Kuldeep Yadav and Sunil Narine will look to exploit the conditions. Kolkata has two wrist-spinners in Chawla and Kuldeep, compared to Chennai's Imran Tahir. The duel between Kuldeep and Dhoni will be an interesting one to look forward to.
The Chennai squad was built around the fact that the Chepauk pitch has ample amount of turn. They have bought Harbhajan Singh, Karn Sharma, Imran Tahir and Mitchell Santer, who is out of the tournament due to an injury.
Ravindra Jadeja bowled just a single over in the season opener against Mumbai. In all likeliness, he is going to play a prominent role in this match along with Harbhajan and Tahir. There is also a slight possibility of Karn Sharma coming into the squad for Harbhajan, but it is sure there that there will be at least three spinners playing from each side.
