In the 23rd Match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be locking horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday. CSK is standing at the top of the points table as they have managed to win all their games after losing the first game of the tournament. Riding on the exploits of Faf du Plessis and Deepak Chahar, Chennai Super Kings have impressed in the powerplay overs with both the bat and ball.
Given the balance and depth they possess, CSK will fancy continuing their winning streak. However, the Super Kings will come across a wounded Sunrisers Hyderabad side who are at the bottom half of the IPL 2021 points table. With only one win in five games, the Sunrisers will be desperate to return to winning ways and launch a comeback in IPL 2021. Although their top-order trio of Jonny Bairstow, David Warner, and Kane Williamson have been firing me often than not.

However, excelled of late, SRH’s middle-order woes have resurfaced from time to time, costing them a few games in IPL 2021. With Rashid Khan leading a decent bowling attack, Sunrisers can’t be taken lightly. However, CSK will start the game as favorites, given their recent run of form. However, MS Dhoni and his men will be wary of what the Sunrisers and Rashid Khan, in particular, are capable of in the shortest format.

Moeen Ali will be expected to make a comeback to the and with his impact so far, he’s likely to slot back in right away. If CSK decides not to rush him back, they can stick with Dwayne Bravo.

Abdul Samad missed the last two fixtures with a hamstring pull. If he’s fit, he should take back his place in the lower middle-order as well.
