CSK v SRH

29th Match

Today

7:30 PM?

?SRH's South African duo of Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen average close to 40 with a strike rate over 140 in T20 cricket since 2022

-? Ajinkya Rahane's powerplay strike rate of 222.22 is the best among all batters in this year's IPL (minimum 50 runs)

Chepauk is staying true to reputation and assisting spin. Spinners have taken 16 wickets there this season with an economy of 8.13, while the fast bowlers have 11 wickets and an economy of 10.66.

CSK are the only IPL opponents against whom Mayank Agarwal has not scored a half-century in more than 10 innings.
In the last two IPL seasons, only Nitish Rana and Sanju Samson have more runs than Ruturaj Gaikwad's 235 against Sunrisers.

Tushar Deshpande has picked up five wickets in the last five overs this season, the second most by a fast bowler. However, his economy of 12.81 in this phase is the highest among bowlers to have bowled at least 30 balls.

?Bhuvneshwar Kumar has dismissed Ajinkya Rahane six times in 103 deliveries in the IPL, and only conceded 90 runs

there is only 1 sir in India and the answer to that is..

That second last boundary that brook hit wasn't even off a bad ball. Bowlers bowled a length ball that's hitting top of off and brook's just given himself room and smashed it for 4.

 

[honestbharani]

Klaasen was definitely willingly ensuring Jaddu could not catch that ball IMO. Why tf would you turn your back to a ball coming right at you instead of ducking or moving away?


Jaddu has every right to be incensed.

 

[honestbharani]

Am I dreaming, or are we actually finishing a bowling innings of 20 overs in 95 mins? ?


MSD, you Emperor.

 

[anil1405]

Sunrisers has a decent squad but the application in all departments is below par. Appointing Lara as head coach is a blunder considering his lack of experience.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Pathirana as green as they come, but under the leadership of MS Dhoni, he's being given the kudos to bowl these tough overs...and he's excelling.

 

[honestbharani]

Sunrisers, Punjab Kings and Delhi are all notorious for having managements that interfere way too much with the cricket.

 

[Nintendo]

CSK have put together a really good team this year. They have 3 quality spinners in Moeen-Jadeja-Santner/Theeshanka that can usually play together because 2+ of them bat and all bowl different things, 2 guys doing well at the death in deshpande and the malinga ripoff, a gun opening pair and batting down to #8/#9 with their #8 having 60 runs at an average of 60 and a SR of 210 after 5 games. When you bat that deep, have a solid top order and have the variety of spinners they have at chepauk your gonna be tough to beat, at home at least. They just need somoene who can apply more pressure at the top. Ideally theeshanka would do that and that's why he's starting over santner, but he's copped a bit of tap upfront so far.

 

[honestbharani]

They bought Chahar for that and he has basically no-showed since his record breaking buy.

They paid 7 Crore or something for him at the mega auction didn't they? Shame he's only managed to string together 3 games in a season and a half since then. He's a better in every way shardul in whiteball when he's actually fit. Both are pretty crap at the death but chahar is much better with the new rock and he's a more consistent batsmen.

 

[honestbharani]

yeah his fitness has been the issue. Its almost as if playing 50 over cricket has broken him a bit. Not good signs for a youngster. They work so much on their bodies but they forget the core of cricket, esp. bowling, is all about flexibility.

 

[Nintendo]

conway is so good. Has an ability to score quickly at ~140 without taking too much risk. He took 23 off that jansen over and most of the shots where just placement and timing rather than power.

even worse, they paid twice that amount lol

big money signings seldom work for csk. i dont think they work on average for anyone

I feel like with the big money signings teams dont exactly know what to do with those players? Part of the reason maxwell sucked for so many seasons before RCB was teams just randomly shovelling him all over the order instead of just letting him bat 4 and giving him a consistent role there. Mumbai have done the same thing with green this season, across a 3 game span he's batted everywhere from 3 to 7 and bowled everywhere from the powerplay to the 19th over. Sunrisers have done a similiar thing with brook.

 

[Prince EWS]

I'm not sure whether I like the CSK team or not. It has a couple of my favourite players in it but I also have a largely irrational distate for Dhoni and Rayudu (and Stokes too, but at least he hasn't been playing). I love seeing older blokes play on for ages which has neutralised my hatred of Dhoni a bit.

Conway and Jadeja dominating in the last game did make me smile anyway.
