The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will look for a strong comeback after MS Dhoni reigning back the control of the defending champions. The Yellove Army will have a big challenge on their hand as they lock horns against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.
Sunrisers have been in good form so far this season, winning five out of their eight games. However, the team’s four-match winning streak came to an end in the last match after the side suffered a close defeat against the table topper Gujarat Titans.
After meticulous planning and consideration, we have a list of names that could give you some great rewards in tonight’s fantasy contest.
Wicketkeeper:
Mahendra Singh Dhoni: MS Dhoni is back in town as the skipper for the Super Kings and will look to register his return with a win. While having Dhoni in a fantasy line-up does not make much sense, with the player batting way down the batting order, his counterpart Nicolas Pooran has been out of form this season, and it would be perilous to bet on the Caribbean player.
Batters:
Rahul Tripathi: Rahul Tripathi has been in sublime form for Hyderabad. The player has been sensational with the bat for his franchise scoring 228 runs in his eight appearances with a staggering strike rate of 174,05 this season.
Abhishek Sharma: Abhishek Sharma has been the top scorer for Hyderabad so far into the season, racking up 285 runs in eight games. Sharma will have a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders to provide his franchise with a good start.
Robin Uthappa: The veteran batter has been on and off this season. Other than his 88 runs knock against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and a 50 runs knock against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), the player has struggled for form and will have to get his touch back if CSK wish to make it into the playoffs.
Ambati Rayadu: Ambati Rayadu played a valiant knock of 78 runs in his last game for the Super Kings as the side faced Punjab in a losing effort. The player has been very consistent with the bat and has averaged around 35.14 runs per game.
All Rounders:
Aiden Markram: The South African national has been one of the cornerstones for the Sunrisers in their batting order this season. The player has already scored 246 runs in his six games for the franchise. While the player hasn’t bowled much, his contributions with the bat have been nothing short of terrific.
Ravindra Jadeja: The former CSK skipper had a disappointing run leading the defending champions this season. The player has been relieved of his responsibilities and will look to get back to his ‘Sir Jadeja’ days for the Yellove.
Bowlers:
Umran Malik: The pacer from Jammu and Kashmir has been just outstanding this season, living up to all the expectations. Umran has already picked up fifteen wickets in eight games with an economy rate of 7.97. The pacer has been a nightmare for the batters and could pose a significant challenge for the Super Kings.
T Natarajan: While all the spotlight has been on Umran Malik, T Natarajan has acted as the silent assassin. The Tamil Nadu born bowler has picked up fifteen wickets and is standing side by side alongside Malik, spearheading Sunrisers’ pace bowling attack.
Maheesh Theekshana: Theekshana has faced his ups and downs in his five appearances for the defending champions. The Sri Lankan mystery spinner has eight wickets to his name with an economy rate of 7.75.
