In the 44th match of IPL 2021, Sunrisers Hyderabad will face Chennai Super Kings in Sharjah on Thursday. CSK defeated SRH the last time these two teams met this season. 

The addition of Jason Roy at the top has given new energy to the team, which got reflected in the last match. Kane Williamson will be the key for SRH in the middle overs. The management is banking on youngsters and Jason Holder to finish the innings. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar will play a crucial role with the new ball and in death overs. Rashid Khan will be the game-changer. Hyderabad is unlikely to make any changes to playing XI. 

Chennai Super Kings batting is strong and bat deep. If Faf du Plessis is injured, then Dwayne Bravo could take his place, and Ambati Rayudu could open the innings. 

Ravindra Jadeja is the key player for CSK, while Shardul Thakur is the game-changer with both ball as well as the bat. 

It has been a clash in which only one team has dominated - CSK. The two teams have played 15 matches against each other in IPL, and MS Dhoni-led side has won 11.
