Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will look to turn things around quickly in their favour when they square off against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Rajiv Gandhi Internation Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday (April 22) afternoon.
Meanwhile, Hyderabad suffered a thumping loss in the last match against Kings XI Punjab after registering three wins on a trot. However, they will be raring to shift gears against the in-form Chennai side.
For the Hyderabad-based outfit, Billy Stanlake is likely to take back his spot after the illness while Suresh Raina‘s return boosted CSK.
However, Shikhar Dhawan is in doubt for this match after copping a blow to his elbow while batting against Punjab. This will be a huge blow for Hyderabad if Dhawan fails to make it to the first XI.
Ambati Rayadu also looked in some sorts of pain in the last outing, he should be fine and raring to go.
