Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH):

Batsmen

Despite failures of the top order of both the sides, I am going in with the similar set of batsmen and most importantly has ignored Faf du Plessis. Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu should come good in the big game for CSK and one of them will play a key knock definitely. For SRH, Kane Williamson and Shikhar Dhawan continue to remain the big guns and the batting will once again depend on the two to make the bulk of the scoring. There is a chance of Manish Pandey coming back into the playing XI, but I don’t want to take any risk for this crucial game.

All-Rounders

Shane Watson has gone quiet in the last few games and will be surely itching to hit the straps as soon as possible. No wonder he is important to the fortunes of the Yellow brigade and if he manages to stay in the middle for more than 10 overs, the bowlers won’t have a good outing. Carlos Brathwaite has been bowling a few crucial overs from the last couple of matches and pick wickets as well. Fantasy wise he will be a good pick and no doubt his batting in the death overs will be a bonus as well.

Wicketkeeper

Here, I am going in with Wridhhiman Saha as a wicketkeeper in my line-up. With MS Dhoni at the other end, many would pick him and Saha has an ability to play a quickfire knock at the top of the order. His contribution to the SRH will be a bonus for me in the final and would reap rich rewards for the risk I’ve taken.

Bowlers

Now, Rashid Khan has to be there in any team. it will be a risk making him a captain or vice-captain as I doubt if he will play as well as he did in the last match. Siddarth Kaul is the other SRH bowler for me as he has impressed a lot and has bowled crunch overs. Deepak Chahar and Lungi Ngidi are the remaining two bowlers of my line-up as both the are mernacing with the new ball. The latter can also bowl at the death and pick wickets which will give me more points on any day.
