Watch IPL 2015 Cricket Live Online: Kolkata Knight Riders Vs. Chennai Super Kings In Crucial Clash
Cricket fans can watch live online as Chennai Super Kings face the visiting Kolkata Knight Riders in the 28th match of the IPL 2015 season — marking the halfway point of the Indian Premier League tournament with a crucial clash between top-of-the-table powerhouse clubs at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
To find out how to watch the Kolkata Knight Riders vs. Chennai Super Kings match live online, see the information at the bottom of this article. The match is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. Indian Standard Time, which is 10:30 a.m. United States Eastern Time, 7:30 a.m. Pacific.
Chennai has spent the first half of the IPL 2015 season in cruise control, winning five of their first six games — their only loss coming to the Rajasthan Royals, who are also the only side ahead of Chennai in the table.
But Kolkata, the defending IPL champions, are just three points behind the Super Kings, at 3-2 in third place.
In their most recent match, Chennai — captained by India skipper M.S. Dhoni — absolutely crushed Kings XI Punjab, winning by 97 runs while restricting KXIP to just 95.
Kolkata’s most recent match, on the other hand, was not a match at all — but a washout. The scheduled game against Rajasthan Royals was called off due to the inclement weather, resulting in each team receiving one point in the standings.
But Kolkata has been inconsistent at best this season, and now face a decision on whether to play West Indies spinner Sunil Narine, who is under investigation for alleged illegal deliveries for the second time this year. Results of the investigation are supposed to come in before the game Tuesday.
Even if they don’t, Kolkata may hold Narine out to be on the safe side. At the same time, they can ill afford to weaken their bowling attack.
Knight Riders Skipper Gautam Gambhir must also figure out some way to contain Chennai opening batsman Brendon McCullum. The New Zealander — who captained his country to the finals of the Cricket World Cup in March — has posted an eye-popping strike rate of 171.85 so far in the IPL 2015 season.
