RR vs MI Dream11 Prediction

Chennai Super Kings lost their previous game against Punjab Kings. They have struggled to get going throughout the season with their openers not getting runs consistently. Death over bowling has been another major problem with the side with Chris Jordan not performing his best.

The side needs to win all their remaining games in a bid to make it to the playoffs. This looks tough as they play teams like Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals in their final two league games. In this article, we take a look at the predicted playing XI of  Chennai Super Kings against SRH.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings’ Predicted Playing XI Against Sunrisers Hyderabad, IPL 2022, Match 46 SRH vs CSK

Ruturaj Gaikwad

Despite his repeated failures, Ruturaj Gaikwad has been given the long rope by the management. The ill fate of the second season syndrome has hit the talented right-hander who has scored just one fifty in the season so far.

Robin Uthappa

Uthappa has scored 228 runs from 8 games for CSK including two fifties. His failure to score consistently at the top has hurt CSK badly in the season. CSK will trust the old guard to come back into form.

Mitchell Santner

Santner has been given the number three slot with Moeen Ali missing games due to his injury. The England all-rounder will take a week’s time to recover as per CSK head coach Stephen Fleming. This also means that Santner will get another go against SRH.

Ambati Rayudu

Rayudu scored a brilliant 78 off 39 balls and almost took CSK to victory. He has scored 246 runs so far in the season and the management will back him to score a few more in the remaining season.

Shivam Dube

Dube is inching closer to 250 runs for the season and will slot in at number five for Chennai Super Kings. He has slowed down a bit since his 95 runs against RCB. He is a key figure in the middle order along with MS Dhoni.

MS Dhoni

Dhoni should bat at number six in the order. He has already won a game chasing for Chennai Super Kings and in the remaining six games he might need to do that a few more often.

Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja will slot in at number and will share the responsibility of finishing the game in the final overs alongside Dhoni. He has not been amongst the runs and wickets, unlike the other seasons. Captaincy has affected his performance for sure.

Dwayne Bravo

Bravos is in the Purple Cap race with 14 wickets so far in 8 games. He has been Jadeja’s trusted ally in the death overs and will continue to be so. Bravo went past Lasith Malinga to become the highest wicket-taker in the IPL. He has taken 181 wickets in the IPL till date.

Dwaine Pretorius

Pretorious will be backed over Chris Jordan who has disappointed with his performances so far. The South African all-rounder has played the role to perfection under the guidance of MS Dhoni.

Mukesh Choudhary

Choudhary has come back well after being all over the place in the first few games. Against Punjab Kings, though he bowled a wicketless spell, he kept things tight from one end. The left-arm pacer will need to look for wickets for Chennai Super Kings against SRH.

Maheesh Theekshana

The Sri Lankan spinner picked 1 for 32 against Punjab. He has contributed massively to the team since being included into the playing XI. He concludes Chennai Super Kings’ strongest-looking playing XI against SRH.
