As the host team prepares to play the tough Kolkata club at the Chepauk fortress in Match 22, the IPL is headed to Chennai for another highly anticipated match.

However, the Kolkata Knight Riders, who has won all three of its games and exudes confidence, continues to be the tournament's unbeaten power. So far, Kolkata has appeared strong across the board. Ultimately, it's a matchup between the undefeated Chennai team and the in-form Kolkata team, who have a commendable track record of preserving a great record at their stronghold of Chepauk. Observing how the Kolkata bats handle it would be interesting. Can they cause the home team to lose? Or will Chennai be able to keep their stronghold intact?
