On the other hand, Chennai are faltering because of persisting batting woes and lost by seven runs to Kings XI Punjab on Saturday. u00a0Besides Gambhir, Jacques Kallis, Manoj Tiwary and Manvendra Bisla have been among the runs for KKR.

In bowling, they have a fairly good combination starting from Lakshmipathy Balaji, who knows the conditions in Chepauk, Yusuf Pathan and Sunil Naraine. However, Chennai’s top bowlers Doug Bollinger and R Ashwin haven’t replicated their feats from previous IPL seasons.

Gambhir’s wishlist
>> Win the Orange Cap
>> Sunil Narine bowls tightly
>> Dismiss Faf du Plessis early
>> Get on top of R Ashwin’s spin
>> Y Pathan ends run draught

Dhoni’s wishlist
>> Get back to winning ways
>> Albie Morkel plays a cameo
>> Not allow Narine to dominate
>> du Plessis wins Orange Cap
>> Dismiss McCullum earlyu00a0
