Players to Watch/Key Stats

Chennai Super Kings

Devon Conway hammered 83 last game against RCB and 85 against SRH in IPL 2022.

Ruturaj Gaikwad has struck 235 runs at an average of 58.75 and strike rate of 154.61 against SRH. He has scored 33 runs off 13 balls against Umran Malik (no dismissal) and 21 off 22 balls against Bhuvneshwar Kumar (no dismissal).

Ajinkya Rahane is in superb touch. He is striking at 195.45 this season.

Ravindra Jadeja has a terrible record against SRH (18 inns, 5 wickets, avg. 76.00, econ. 7.81), but he will be key against their long list of right-handers. The spinner was excellent in the last game at Chepauk, where he took 2/21 against RR and spun the ball sharply.

Maheesh Theekshana has been expensive so far in IPL 2023, but expect him to test SRH. Harry Brook has been dismissed twice by spin so far this season at a strike rate of just 100.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Rahul Tripathi strikes at 156.41 in four matches at Chepauk (122 runs, avg. 30.50). In ten matches overall against CSK, he strikes at 149.68 with 232 runs to his name (avg. 29.00).

Aiden Markram is crucial to SRH’s hopes. In 19 T20s this year, the SRH captain has made 562 runs at an average of 37.47 and strike rate of 140.

Abhishek Sharma has a vital role to play against CSK’s spinners. Since the start of 2022, Abhishek has scored 187 runs at an average of 26.7 and strike rate of 162.6 against spin.

Washington Sundar needs to step up for SRH. This is the game he can. In T20s since the start of 2022, Devon Conway has been dismissed four times in 103 balls against offspin at a strike rate of just 115.53.

Mayank Markande in IPL 2023: 3 inns, 6 wickets, avg. 12.83, econ. 6.41. Also, he has taken three wickets in as many games against CSK.

Other Stats and Facts

Head-to-head: Matches 19, CSK 14, SRH 5.

Harry Brook scored a century two games ago. But, Chepauk will be a bigger test given he strikes at just 100 against spin this season.

T Natarajan has dismissed Ruturaj Gaikwad twice in 17 balls in the IPL (27 runs).

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has had Ajinkya Rahane’s number in the IPL. In 103 balls, Kumar has dismissed Rahane six times for just 90 runs.

Heinrich Klaasen in T20s in 2023: 13 inns, 402 runs, avg. 50.25, SR 168.91.

CSK are the only IPL opponents against whom Mayank Agarwal has not scored a half-century in more than 10 innings.
