Here is a look at Chennai Super Kings’ Predicted Playing XI.
Shane Watson
The hard-hitter hasn’t been at his best in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. Watson will like to roar back into form before the playoff stages.
Faf du Plessis
The South Africa captain has been in fine form. The right-hander had scored a good knock of 45 runs in the previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Suresh Raina
The southpaw batsman hasn’t been in the best of forms and he would like to get back into form. Raina has thus far scored 207 runs at an average of 25.87.
Ambati Rayudu
Ambati Rayudu hasn’t been at his best in the ongoing season of the IPL. The right-hander will like to notch up his performances in the remaining matches.
MS Dhoni
Dhoni should get back into the playing XI. The captain had missed the last match due to a back spasm and he would like to hit the ground running.
Ravindra Jadeja
The southpaw all-rounder had played a peculiar inning of 10 runs and faced 20 balls in the previous match against SRH. Thus, Jadeja will like to pull up his socks.
CSK have one foot in the door of playoff stages.
Karn Sharma
The leg-spinner had played his first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, he was on the expensive side.
Scott Kuggeleijn
The New Zealand pacer should walk in the playing XI in place of Shardul Thakur, who was expensive in the last game.
Deepak Chahar
The swing fast bowler has impressed with his bowling. Chahar has scalped 11 wickets in the ongoing season and he has hit the straps for his team.
Imran Tahir
The veteran leg-spinner is the second highest wicket-taker of the season with 15 wickets in his bag. Tahir has bowled with aplomb.
