IPL 2024: Chennai Super Kings’ All-out Attacking Approach Undone By SRH At Hyderabad
Last season, with Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad being the top run-scorers for CSK, with Shivam Dube, Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu and Ravindra Jadeja chipping in, the most striking thing was all of their main run-scorers had a strike-rate above 135. Though Conway hasn’t been available this season and Rayudu retired from IPL, CSK have managed to stay afloat through the additions of Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell and Sameer Rizvi to retain their left-right batting combinations, while retaining Dube and Rahane as their spin and pace hitters.
As per statistics from Cricket-21, CSK’s batters had a collective strike rate of 157 from the first three games of IPL 2024, with a run rate of 9.4, which stands at third place in the batting charts, despite them being thwarted by Delhi Capitals at Visakhapatnam.
