KKR vs MI IPL 2021 Match 05 Pitch Report:
The pitch at Chepauk has been quite slow as expected. But there is plenty to play for the seamers and this was seen in the game between SRH and KKR. There is plenty of incentive for the batsmen once they get their eyes in.
A total of 160-170 would be a par score at this venue. But with such power-hitters on either side, they are quite capable of setting and chasing much higher scores. Dew could play a part as well.
