#1 Rashid Khan vs Ravindra Jadeja
Rashid Khan has been dominant for GT in the mid-overs stage, as he has been consistently taking wickets from five games. However, the Afghan has a weakness against left-handed batters. His encounter against Ravindra Jadeja could be quite the contest should the CSK skipper find form. Jadeja has just 66 runs from five matches and that would mean he will be eager to take on the Afghan spinner.
#2 Rahul Tewatia vs Dwayne Bravo
Rahul Tewatia has been finishing games for GT quite scintillatingly in this season and has not lost his wicket in all four of their games. While he strikes in excess of 155 against Dwayne Bravo, he has also been dismissed by the veteran West Indies medium-pacer in all of their three encounters. It will be a contest of guile and patience when these two face each other in a death-overs battle.
#3 Hardik Pandya vs Maheesh Theekshana
Hardik Pandya played a captain’s knock when he scored 52-ball-87 against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the last game. The captain will be looking to continue the momentum as he was excellent with the ball and on the field as well. had started but hadn’t converted them. Maheesh Theekshana has the second-highest wicket-taker (four) for Chennai this season and has been one of their more economical bowlers as well.
