CSK vs SRH, MCA Stadium. Finally, MS Dhoni is back as the skipper of Chennai Super Kings after such a hard season. Clearly, Ravindra Jadeja could not find a balance between playing and maintaining the team. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad has a good streak of winning games. Tonight's game can be the comeback game for CSK. However, CSK is out of the equation for the playoffs. SRH can still make a strong position by winning the game.

No changes are expected in the CSK squad. Tactical change of the number 3 batter may happen. Moeen Ali can replace Mitch Santner. MS Dhoni, Robin Uthappa, and Ambati Raydu have been batting pillars of CSK while playing against SRH. However, No SRH bowler has dismissed Ruturaj Gaikwad in the T20s except Natarajan. He could be the x-factor for SRH's bowling tonight.

MCA has been providing exceptional help to the pacers, which will help SRH's pace army more than CSK's. Specifically, Umran Malik and Marco Jansen will be tough to play against. Kane Williamson and Aiden Markram will be sharing primary responsibility of the batting and the sixth bowler.
