Team News

• CSK may stick to the same eleven despite the string of defeats. They are not a side who tinkers with the eleven much and will likely continue with their normal style despite their position.

• Shreyas Gopal and Marco Jansen will make their way into the squad with Romario Shepherd likely to be left out.

Key Players

Ruturaj Gaikwad

Gaikwad has only scored two runs in three games and seems to be rushing into his shots. He is pushing to early and may do better taking time to get into his groove. With his form off, Gaikwad may look to be a little patient in the innings and that will help him and CSK get to a good position if he pulls of a good knock.

Rahul Tripathi

Rahul Tripathi is best used as an opener but with Williamson at the top, Tripathi is at three. He is still doing a great job and is showing wonderful versatility as a cricketer. With a lot of talent, he will be a key wicket to pick up.

CSK Vs SRH Match Tips

CSK didn’t look to competitive in any of the games despite being in decent positions. SRH on the other hand showed a more complete performance despite losing to LSG and have an edge coming into the game.

Match Prediction: SRH will win the match.
