Ishan Kishan is in red-hot form, and his knock in the last game was one key reason SRH won. Sanju Samson is the main man for CSK. If he bats well, CSK do well in the game.
Probable Best Bowler
Eshan Malinga has been very consistent this season and has most wickets for this team. For CSK, Noor Ahmad had a good last game, and he will be tough in the middle overs.
