Today In IPL 2021, CSK vs SRH, 23rd Match: Expected Playing XI
In the 23rd match of IPL 2021, Chennai Super Kings(CSK) will play Sunrisers Hyderabad(SRH) in Delhi. While CSK had a dominating win in its last game against Royal Challengers Bangalore, SRH lost to Delhi Capitals in a super over.
Chennai Super Kings batting is in fine form this season. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis have done well as openers, giving a good aggressive start to the innings. If Moeen Ali is fit then he will be back playing at number 3 where he has been brilliant for CSK so far.
Ravindra Jadeja is the MVP of Chennai. He has been an absolute beast in whatever he does; be it bat, bowl, or field. The slowish track means Imran Tahir could be a game-changer for CSK.
Sunrisers Hyderabad's top-order has been brilliant as expected, especially with the arrival of Kane Williamson at number 3. David Warner and Jonny Bairstow are one of the most destructive opening pairs in IPL currently.
Rashid Khan will be vital for SRH, as always. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be back in the XI in place of Sidharth Kaul or Khaleel Ahmed if he is fit. Jagadeesha Suchith could be the game-changer for SRH.
Chennai Super Kings has an upper hand over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the head-to-head record. Given the current form, CSK might once again dominate SRH in this game.
