IPL 2021: 3 Stars From Chennai Super Kings Who Can Be Game Changers Against Sunrisers Hyderabad

Chennai Super Kings are coming off a thumping win against the Royal Challengers Bangalore and they will now be taking on the bottom-placed Sunrisers Hyderabad tonight. CSK looked very clinical in the last game against RCB and Ravindra Jadeja was the star of the show for CSK with the bat, with the ball, and in the field.

Chennai Super Kings is currently second on the board with 8 points in 5 games and has just lost one game so far. They will go to the top again if they manage to win against SRH and they already have an outstanding net run rate too. Faf du Plessis has been in terrific form at the top while Gaikwaid is slowly starting to find his groove. Here are 3 stars from Chennai Super Kings who can be game-changers against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

IPL 2021: 3 Stars From Chennai Super Kings Who Can Be Game Changers:

Faf Du Plessis:

Faf du Plessis has been the man in form for CSK at the top and he has been very consistent so far. He scored a brilliant 95 against Rajasthan and followed it with a fifty in the previous game against RCB. He has anchored the innings at the start with the odd boundaries and his strike rate has been moving up once he gets set.

Du Plessis is fourth on the list of top run-scorers this season with 214 runs in five games and he could go to the top easily if he continues to be in the form he is. He is one of the important members of CSK and he is also a gun fielder in the ground. He can also hit the long balls and could be the match-winner for the Chennai Super Kings against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Suresh Raina:

The left-hander Suresh Raina was back to his favourite position of number three in the previous game against RCB in the absence of Moeen Ali. However, it will be interesting to see if Chennai Super Kings stick on to him at number three, as Moeen Ali might get a nod back considering the turning tracks in Delhi.

Raina hasn’t been in his dominant best yet and he hasn’t had enough deliveries too. He has scored 104 runs in five games so far and Chennai Super Kings will be expecting a lot more from him given that he is a seasoned campaigner.

In the previous game, he scored a brisk 24 off just 18 deliveries and he hit three sixes and one four in the innings. He found it difficult to rotate the strike but the boundaries relieved him from the pressure.

Ravindra Jadeja:

The all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja did enjoy a lot of success in the previous game and he deserved the man-of-the-match award too. He scored 62 off just 28 deliveries against RCB and hit fives and four fours in the innings. He plundered the bowling of current purple cap holder Harshal Patel with 37 runs in the final over.

Jadeja had a brilliant day in the field too with a superb bowling spell. He bowled four overs with one maiden and picked up three wickets giving away just 13 runs.

He got the important wickets of Maxwell and AB Devilliers and did not stop there, as produced a direct hit to dismiss Daniel Christian. He has been a live wire on the field and he is certainly going to be one of the game-changers for Chennai Super Kings.
