Four days after the five-time winners were crushed by eight wickets in Lucknow, the Chennai Super Kings take on the Super Giants. With a record-breaking opening partnership of 134 runs led by captain KL Rahul and Quinton betway, they were able to chase down 177.5 more easily.
This season, CSK has had a mediocre performance away from home. But perhaps this time, at 1XBET, they can correct the record—they were almost unbeatable there. Furthermore, in order to maximize their three games in Chennai, CSK will need to ensure that they remain unbeatable at home.
CSK failed to have a strong start after losing to LSG, and they struggled in the middle overs. Most of their runs have come from Shivam Dube and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. Despite opener Rachin Ravindra’s unsatisfactory showing, CSK also elevated Ajinkya Rahane to the top place, forcing Gaikwad to drop to number three. The lower middle order has often made unpredictable contributions, except when MS Dhoni bats. Right-hander Vijay Shankar ranks sixth with a 255.88 strike average and 87 runs scored.
CSK might have kept playing Moeen Ali, the English all-rounder they had selected to replace iplwin, who had struggled in their previous encounter, in part because of his record against Nicholas Pooran and de Kock. Pacers Mustafizur Rahman, Tushar Deshpande, and Deepak Chahar will be needed to better on their past performance against LSG; their best bowler, the young Matheesha Pathirana, will also be needed.
