After being involved in a thriller against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fly back home to face the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Chepauk. Though MS Dhoni won the hearts of his fans with a gigantic knock of 84 runs, the one-run loss would hurt the Men in Yellow. They still need one more win to qualify for the playoffs and will feel better playing at home for the first time in last two weeks.

CSK have gone with Harbhajan Singh while playing in Chennai this season and the trend might continue for this game as well. Shardul Thakur isn’t doing enough despite being backed by the skipper time and again. He should make way for Bhajji in the line-up. SRH, on the other hand, have found their mojo at the right time and would love to make it a hat-trick of victories. They are expected to go in unchanged for this encounter.
