Chennai Needs To Perform As A Unit.
After initial failures from CSK’s Rituraj Gaikwad and Devon Conway, experienced Robin Uthappa could not convert the good start they got into big innings.
Captain Ravindra Jadeja could not perform with the bat, which he has given for Team India recently. Against Lucknow, CSK’s upper-order batsmen would like to do better.
Moeen Ali’s presence will be a big relief for defending champions Chennai for the selection in the playing 11. Chennai will expect good captaincy from their new captain Jadeja with better bowling. Bravo needs only 1 wicket to become the most successful bowler in IPL.
