On the points table, the Sunrisers Hyderabad are in fourth place with five wins in eight games, while the Chennai Super Kings are in ninth place with two wins in eight games. After two losses in their first two games, SRH won five in a row. SRH lost a thrilling match against GT in their previous match, while CSK failed to chase the target against PBKS.
Kane Williamson couldn’t use the power play this season; he had a 15.8 average and a 75.96 SR. SRH had the second-lowest run rate in the powerplay this season after RCB. Abhishek Sharma is the leading scorer, and Rahul Tripathi is the aggressive batsman in the middle overs. Nicholas Pooran has failed to impress with his batting.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar isn’t picking wickets with the new balls and has picked only 2 wickets in the powerplay this season. Natarajan is the wicket-taker in powerplays for SRH. Jansen picked up 3 wickets in an over against RCB, but he isn’t consistent. In the last match against GT, the young pace bowling sensation, Umran Malik, picked up his maiden five-wicket haul.
Chennai Super Kings aren’t utilising the powerplay, having a 6.27 run rate, which is the 3rd lowest this season. Shivam Dube cannot score consistently and has only two 50+ scores this season. Last year’s Orange Cap holder, Ruturaj Gaikwad, could not repeat last year’s performance, scoring 138 runs with a 17.25 average and 117 SR.
CSK’s bowling lineup isn’t effective in this IPL. They struggled to take wickets, taking only 45 opposition wickets, second-fewest after the Mumbai Indians. Their death bowling is the main concern and the lack of wickets with the ball in the middle overs.
