Both CSK and KXIP have won only one match from their four matches. CSK have lost their last three matches whereas, KXIP lost their last two.
Must-have:
Ambati Rayudu, Faf du Plessis, Deepak Chahar, Sam Curran from CSK
Mayank Agarwal, KL Rahul, Ravi Bishnoi and Sheldon Cottrell from KXIP
Rayudu was the player of the match in CSK’s first outing. Faf du Plessis is the leading run-scorer for CSK and has done well in almost every single match. Deepak Chahar’s initial overs will be crucial for CSK. Sam Curran is yet another player who has done well so far, both with bat and ball.
In KXIP, Mayank Agarwal-KL Rahul partnership has worked well for Punjab. Agarwal is the leading run-scorer in IPL 2020 currently, KL Rahul is the 2nd highest run-getter so far. Cottrell and Bishnoi are among the wickets, will be the key here as well.
MS Dhoni and Nicholas Pooran also be a good choice in this line-up.
