CSK vs SRH: Team Previews

Chennai Super Kings

Led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK have blown hot and cold in the competition, placed fifth in the points table with four wins in eight matches. 

Although they have been brilliant with the bat, courtesy of the exceptional batting form of skipper Gaikwad and Shivam Dube. 

However, barring these two, the only CSK batter to have put an impact has been Ravindra Jadeja, who has scored some tough runs as an anchor, albeit with a lesser strike rate. 

Talking about their bowling department, the Super Kings must regroup and assess their grey areas before the all-important encounter against Cummins' SRH, who have been absolute ruthless with their batting approach.

On the other hand, the Sunrisers finally tasted defeat at the hands of the tenth-placed Royal Challengers Bengaluru after securing several thumping wins. 

RCB's ploy to make SRH chase worked wonders, with the Orange Army falling apart soon after losing the in-form Travis Head. 

So, they must work on their middle order, something CSK can exploit if they get Head early. Also, the SRH bowlers must buckle up, as they have conceded 200+ totals four times so far. 

Apart from Head, the onus lies on Heinrich Klaasen, Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who are expected to play key roles. Also, considering Chennai's pitch, don't underestimate T Natarajan and Mayank Markande to bring their A-game in this match.

CSK vs SRH: MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report

The surface at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is expected to be slightly on the drier side. The hit-the-deck pacers and spinners will likely be useful on this pitch, while the batters might toil to score runs. The track has behaved slightly better in the second half, which is why the toss-winner might bowl first.
