SRH on the other hand would be upset after losing against Mumbai Indians (MI). SRH are placed at 9th position in the points table with 2 wins from 5 matches. The side needs the likes of Abdul Samad & Abhishek Sharma to perform at the crunch moments of the match.
I thought of fulfilling the role assigned to me- Shivam Dube
Shivam Dube was having an interaction with CSK’s social media handle. Shivam Dube stated that MS Dhoni had backed him to come good against RCB in IPL 2022 when the team was in a state of bother at 36-2. Shivam Dube has scored 95 runs in 46 balls with 5 fours & 8 sixes.
“In 2022 we were playing RCB and lost a few early wickets. I thought of fulfilling the role assigned to me. And like Mahi bhai told me, ‘This is your role, do well in this department rest will take care of itself.’ So that’s what I thought, let’s back my strengths and not be bothered about the results,” said Shivam Dube.

“So like captain told me earlier, ‘Just think about what the bowler is going to bowl, your skills will take care of the rest’. So I followed his advice and didn’t overthink. Last ball, the thought of scoring 100 crossed my mind but then I decided to focus back on see the ball and hit the ball,” he added.

Exciting Contest on Cards
SRH would take a leaf out of RR’s win over CSK at Chepauk. SRH needs Mayank Agrawal to give the team a rollicking start as there is too much pressure on Harry Brook. There is no doubt that SRH have got a dangerous bowling line up but the batters aren’t performing according to their credentials.

CSK on the other hand would be considering bringing back Mitchell Santner into the playing 11. The left-arm spinner has got foxy variations and can also be used as a floater. It won’t be a surprise if we witness 10-12 overs of spin against SRH’s batting lineup.
