IPL 2026: Sunrisers Hyderabad's strongest predicted XI against Chennai Super Kings
The Sunrisers come into this clash on the back of a significant loss to the Gujarat Titans.
Lower order/bowlers: Pat Cummins (c), Shivang Kumar, Eshan Malinga, Sakib Hussain, Praful Hinge
The return of skipper Pat Cummins has added significant balance and threat to the SRH bowling attack. He has picked up five wickets in five games and is a reliable all-phase option to their attack. Shivang Kumar has been one of the standouts of the season. The left-arm wrist spinner has picked up eight wickets in ten games, going at an economy of 9.5.
Eshan Malinga has been the Sunrisers’ premier strike bowler in the 2026 season. The Sri Lankan speedster has picked up 16 wickets in 12 games, leading the way as an all-phase wicket taker. The uncapped duo of Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain stepped onto the scene, picking up four-wicket hauls against the Rajasthan Royals on debut. Sakib has been a trustworthy death-overs option, bowling with control and executing his yorkers with consistency. Hinge has bowled predominantly with the new ball, but has chipped in with wickets in the middle and death overs.
Predicted SRH XI for Match 63 vs CSK:
Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Smaran Ravichandran, Pat Cummins (c), Shivang Kumar, Eshan Malinga, Sakib Hussain, Praful Hinge
