Chennai will remain upbeat about their form despite the two defeats. They were without allrounder Albie Morkel for the first loss against Mumbai and were blitzed by AB de Villiers in the match against Delhi. They will also take heart from their batsmen, who challenged Delhi’s imposing score of 189. However, the batting and bowling line-up has taken a hit with Andrew Flintoff being ruled out of the tournament with a knee injury.

Kolkata will have to forget their gut-wrenching loss against Rajasthan quickly and gear up for their toughest opponents of the tournament so far. They’ve relied on Chris Gayle and Sourav Ganguly to do the bulk of the scoring because Brendon McCullum and Brad Hodge haven’t weighed in with significant contributions. Gayle leaves the IPL in a week’s time so Kolkata will want to notch up as many wins as they can while he’s in South Africa.

13th Match of Indian Premier League (IPL) between Chennai Super Kings v Kolkata Knight Riders is scheduled at Durban on 25th April from 16:45pm (12.45GMT).

The Lancashire all-rounder has signed up for two weeks with the Chennai Super Kings and will earn $1.5mn on a pro-rata basis depending on the number of matches he plays for his new side.

Flintoff is one of a number of leading England players, including Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood, Owais Shah and Ravi Bopara, who will feature in the world’s most high-profile Twenty20 tournament, which has been moved to South Africa because of elections in India.

Flintoff’s participation had prompted fears of extra overload for him but the all-rounder, who has been dealing with injury problems, believes IPL will be the perfect stage to help him reach his peak this summer.

“It’s been frustrating with the hip injury, thigh injury and getting hit on the thumb just before the end of the tour of the West Indies and I think the IPL will be good for me,” said Flintoff. “There are a few people putting it down but playing should help me out a lot. When I stop and start is when my body is at its most vulnerable.

“I know I’m only bowling four overs a game, but it will give me a chance to work on my game in between games going into a Test series and I will be working with top facilities out in South Africa.”

Being part of IPL also give him a chance to look and learn about their preparation techniques and may give him a better insight into their strengths and weaknesses before the World Twenty20 that will be hosted in England.

“The Twenty20 World Cup is going to be huge and international Twenty20 cricket is going to become bigger and bigger,” said Flintoff. “While I’m out there I’ll be watching the likes of Dhoni, who has played a lot of it, and Hayden who had a good IPL last year. I will be speaking to a few of the Indian guys and see if I can pick their brains.

Flintoff opens his IPL career against Sachin Tendulkar’s Mumbai Indians in Cape Town on April 18 before facing Pietersen’s Bangalore Royal Challengers in Port Elizabeth two days later.

“It’s been frustrating with the hip injury, thigh injury and getting hit on the thumb just before the end of the tour of the West Indies and I think the IPL will be good for me,” said Flintoff, who had earlier expressed disappointment at not being able to play the tournament in India. “There are a few people putting it down but keeping playing should help me out a lot. When I stop and start is when my body is at its most vulnerable.

“I know I’m only bowling four overs a game, but it will give me a chance to work on my game in between games going into a Test series and I will be working with top facilities out in South Africa.”

England’s hectic summer includes Test and one-day series against West Indies, the World Twenty20, the Ashes and a seven-match one-day series against Australia. The other leading England players in the IPL include Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood, Owais Shah and Ravi Bopara, all of whom will report back to England by May 1.

“It is a long schedule and everyone is looking forward to the Ashes and making sure everyone is fit for that but I’ve stressed all along that we have to perform in all the games we’re playing,” Flintoff said. “From my point of view, although it’s been frustrating I’ve had four or five weeks when I’ve not played because I’ve been injured so I’m probably fresher than a lot of the lads. If I’m asked whether I’m jaded in September I’ll probably be on my knees but at this moment in time I’m looking forward to getting on with it.”

During the IPL Flintoff will play alongside Matthew Hayden, MS Dhoni and Muttiah Muralitharan for Chennai and he hoped it would give him clues about preparation techniques and the strengths and weaknesses of opposition in the World Twenty20. “The Twenty20 World Cup is going to be huge and international Twenty20 cricket is going to become bigger and bigger,” Flintoff said. “While I’m out there I’ll be watching the likes of Dhoni, who has played a lot of it, and Hayden who had a good IPL last year. I will be speaking to a few of the Indian guys and see if I can pick their brains.

“I think you’ll find players helping each other out and talking to each other, but the flip side of that is that other sides have England team-mates so you have to be a bit cautious about what you’re saying. Ultimately, it’s all about playing for England and by passing on a bit of information about one of your players could be to the detriment of this team and that’s something you can’t do.”

Flintoff will play his first IPL match against the Mumbai Indians in Cape Town on April 18 before facing Pietersen’s Bangalore Royal Challengers in Port Elizabeth two days later. He can play up to seven IPL games before returning to England.
