IPL 2021 Qualifier 1: Chennai Super Kings Best Playing 11 against Delhi Capitals; Focus on Raina : Rashtra News
The
Chennai
outfit
under
MS
Dhoni
has
won
the
IPL
title
three
times,
while
Delhi
under
Rishabh
Pant
are
targeting
their
maiden
title.
Delhi
had
lost
their
final
league
game
against
Royal
Challengers
Bangalore,
while
the
Super
Kings
had
lost
three
league
games
on
the
bounce
in
the
run-up
to
the
IPL
2021
Qualifier
1.
So,
here
is
Chennai
Super
Kings’ best
possible
for
the
IPL
2021
Qualifier
1.
1.
Openers
Faf
du
Plessis
and
Ruturaj
Gaikwad:
Faf
and
Ruturaj
have
given
Chennai
Super
Kings
a
solid
start
in
the
IPL
2021
more
often
than
not.
They
are
the
highest
run
aggregating
opening
pair
in
IPL
2021
and
the
CSK
will
be
eager
for
them
to
fire
once
again
in
the
Qualifier
1.
2.
Middle-order
batsmen
Moeen
Ali,
Robin
Uthappa/Suresh
Raina,
Ambati
Rayudu:
Moeen
Ali
and
Ambati
Rayudu
have
kept
the
CSK
middle-order
ticking
with
couple
of
useful
knocks
in
the
IPL
2021.
But
Uthappa
needs
to
weigh
in
with
a
fine
innings
soon,
and
the
Qualifier
1
is
a
good
place.
Or
will
the
CSK
consider
bringing
back
Suresh
Raina
for
this
match?
3.
Wicketkeeper
batsman
MS
Dhoni:
Thala
is
the
captain
of
CSK
too.
While
his
keeping
has
remained
sharp,
Dhoni’s
batting
has
gone
down
by
a
few
notches.
He
has
been
struggling
to
force
pace
as
evident
from
that
27-ball
18
against
Delhi
Capitals
at
the
same
venue
a
few
days
back.
He
needs
to
find
his
range
quickly
as
another
middle
overs
tumbling
cannot
afforded
in
such
a
crucial
match.
4.
All-rounders
Ravindra
Jadeja,
Dwayne
Bravo:
Jadeja
and
Bravo
have
been
quite
good
for
CSK
in
IPL
2021
with
both
bat
and
ball,
more
so
the
former.
They
have
been
able
to
check
run
flow,
pick
a
few
crucial
wickets
and
contribute
with
the
bat
when
it
was
needed
of
them.
And
they
would
require
to
pull
in
their
weight
on
Sunday,
if
CSK
have
to
beat
the
Delhi
outfit,
and
make
a
direct
entry
to
the
final.
5.
Bowlers
Shardul
Thakur.
Deepak
Chahar.
Josh
Hazlewood:
True
to
the
recent
trend,
Thakur
has
been
the
highest
wicket
taker
for
CSK
in
the
IPL
2021
so
far
ahead
of
Bravo
and
Jadeja.
In
the
Power
Play
or
in
the
middle
overs
or
at
death,
the
medium
pacer
has
lived
up
to
the
expectations
Chennai
management
invested
on
him.
He
remains
a
very
handy
contributor
with
the
bat
lower
down
the
order.
But
Chahar
has
offered
a
different
story.
With
the
slow
tracks
and
conditions
offering
no
swing,
the
medium
pacer
has
struggled
to
take
wickets
upfront,
a
far
cry
from
the
days
when
Dhoni
used
him
for
3
or
4
overs
straight
in
the
Power
Play.
With
him
not
being
a
teraway,
the
batsmen
have
torn
into
him
too.
Can
he
turned
it
around?
Hazlewood
has
been
a
pleasant
surprise
for
the
CSK.
The
tall
Australian
quick
bowled
with
good
pace
and
purchased
good
enough
bounce
from
the
surfaces
hitting
that
hard
length.
Hazlewood
will
have
to
be
at
his
absolute
best.
