3 CSK Players Who Can Be The Man Of The Match:

Faf Du Plessis:

The veteran South Africa batsman Faf Du Plessis has been one of the consistent performers for the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2021. He is the third-highest run-scorer in IPL 2021 overall so far and the 37-year-old has been key to the plans of the CSK side.

Faf Du Plessis scored 320 runs in 7 games at an average of 64.00 in the first phase and Chennai Super Kings will be worried about his fitness issues. He will certainly be one of the favorites to win the man of the match award.

Ravindra Jadeja:

The all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was in clinical form in the first phase of IPL 2021 with the bat especially and he played some crucial knocks. The left-hander has scored 131 runs in the first 7 games at an average of 131 and was dismissed just once in his innings.

Jadeja was in good form in the recent test series against England. He has the ability to turn a match on its head quickly. Jadeja has been excellent under Dhoni’s captaincy and he will be expecting to produce the same.

Ambati Rayudu:

Ambati Rayudu was one of the stars of the Chennai Super Kings side in the first fixture against Mumbai Indians and almost bagged the man of the match award. The right-hander scored 72 off just 27 balls with seven sixes and four fours. He will be one of the players to watch out for in the contest between these two teams.

Rayudu was once part of the Mumbai Indians unless he was bought by the CSK side in the 2018 auction. He likes to take on the Mumbai bowlers especially. Rayudu has been one of the important pillars in the CSK side in the middle order.
