Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is currently in the great form and one of the favourite teams to win the IPL 2018 trophy. While they have already played eight games in this season, CSK has won six games and lost only twice and also they are leading the points table with 12 points.
While this season is CSK’s comeback IPL season after completing their two-year ban, many experts were not thinking them as a favourite in the tournament. But, CSK showed their familiar cricketing qualities in their comeback season too.
From the beginning of this tournament, CSK has faced hard luck. While some of their players have been ruled out from the tournament or missed out for some important games, they have been forced to change their home venue from Chennai to Pune for this season due to the present security concern in Chennai over the protest on Cauvery water issue.
However, these hard lucks can’t even shake their spirit on the game as they are shaping in the better way as the time progresses.
In the middle of IPL 2018, we are pointing out why the two-time IPL champions CSK can win this trophy.
Batsmen are in superb form
From the top to middle order, most of the regular CSK batsmen are in very good form with the bat. Starting from Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina to middle-order batsmen like MS Dhoni, Dwayne Bravo etc. everyone is in the superb form.
The two-time IPL champions are not depended on the few batsmen. Everyone is playing their role successfully along with the consistency. Currently (updated till May 1), three CSK batsmen are in the top 10 run-scorer in the ongoing IPL season while Rayudu is holding the ‘Orange Cap’ after scoring 370 runs in 8 matches.
In the middle of this season, their batting is scaring the opponent bowlers, even who are in-form with the ball. It is very sure that the opponent bowlers are not feeling easy against CSK, even getting some early wickets as the storm can arrive at any time.
