Here is Chennai Super Kings’ Predicted Playing XI
1. Shane Watson:
Perhaps, this could be the last chance for Shane Watson to showcase his talent for the team. He has been a failure so far in the tournament for CSK. Interestingly, he wasn’t used to bowling in the tournament so far.
2. Faf du Plessis:
When it is the matter of slow pitches, Faf du Plessis will certainly be the contender for the match-winning knock for the team. Besides that, he is fantastic in the field for CSK.
3. Suresh Raina:
The flamboyant striker of the ball has faced one of the greatest Yorkers in the game against RCB. He would like to leave that behind his back and wants to play a good knock against SRH at Cheppauk.
4. Ambati Rayudu:
The number 4 batsman has managed to rotate the strike to MS Dhoni when it mattered the most. However, he could have liked himself if stayed till the end with his skipper.
5. Kedar Jadhav:
The pocket-dynamite is failing on a regular basis in recent times. After his good knocks in the initial phase of the tournament, he failed to show his charisma for the team.
6. Mahendra Singh Dhoni:
Despite coming into the game on the back of an injury, he never showed that on the field. He almost pulled out an unthinkable victory with his great striking. MS Dhoni will be the cynosure of the eyes on Wednesday night.
7. Ravindra Jadeja:
The left-handed all-rounder is showing his class on a regular basis for the team. Even on the other night, he had a good game when he removed Ab de Villiers at the crucial juncture of the game.
8. Dwayne Bravo:
After a fine period of time, Bravo is back in the team. He bowled decent enough in the death but not as threatening as he was earlier. In batting, MS Dhoni denied giving him a strike.
9. Harbhajan Singh:
When it comes to home games, the presence of Harbhajan Singh is a must for the team. He has been brilliant in the home conditions, which would certainly call him back in the playing XI.
10. Imran Tahir:
Can they afford to go without him in the playing XI? He has been brilliant for the team with his great consistency. Tahir will be the key for MS Dhoni on Wednesday night.
11. Deepak Chahar:
The right-handed fast bowler has been sensational for the team throughout the tournament. He made things fall back in place for the team with his brilliant display of fast bowling.
Ratings:
Batting – 9/10
They haven’t got any concerns whatsoever. They got a blistering lineup to dismantle any kind of bowling attack in the tournament. They got floaters in the side and have a depth to make things fall in place.
Bowling – 8.5/10
Bowling looks a bit weak for the team or else, you can say fielding letting bowlers down. A lot will depend on Dwayne Bravo’s performance in the end overs of the game. However, when it comes to the spin department, they are a force to reckon with.
