CSK’s campaign started on a disappointing note.
Mumbai, The team of Chennai Super Kings has not been able to perform well in the Indian Premier League 2022 but in order to bring back the defending champion, captain Ravindra Jadeja would like his players to play Punjab Kings (Punjab Kings) on Sunday. ) against several things. CSK’s campaign started on a disappointing note.
After losing to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the opening match of the tournament, they lost to new team Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). While the batting unit failed in the opening match, in the second match, the dew created trouble for the bowlers, failing to defend more than 200 runs.
With the toss playing a key role in the outcome of the match, dew in the second innings has resulted in teams opting to chase and CSK will hope that they are better prepared to bowl with the wet ball. Jadeja said after the loss to LSG, “Dew will be an important part of this phase. If you win the toss, you would prefer to bowl first. There was a lot of dew, the ball was not even coming in the hands, will have to practice with the wet ball. ,
The CSK bowling attack is also missing fast bowlers Deepak Chahar and Adam Milne and last over specialist Chris Jordan. He was forced to bowl the 19th over to all-rounder Shivam Dube against the Lucknow team in which 25 runs were scored and the match went out of his hands. The CSK bowlers will have to bowl tightly to rein in the rival batsmen.

Tushar Deshpande and Mukesh Chowdhary struggled to bowl against LSG but would have to play better against a strong Punjab line-up, especially at CCI where the bowling has not been easy. Dwayne Bravo has done exceptionally well for the team but he needs support from others. Captain Jadeja has also not looked in the same good rhythm which will require him to do his best.
After failing in the opening match, Chennai’s batting did well in the second match against Lucknow. Robin Uthappa, Moeen Ali and Dube did well and they would like to repeat their performance. Ruturaj Gaikwad, the highest run-getter of the previous leg, will also have to score runs. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is expected to do well in the middle overs and can play the role of a ‘finisher’.
There are some ‘big hitters’ in the Punjab Kings team but they missed out against KKR. After the six-wicket loss, the team will be eager to get back into the winning streak and expect its batsmen to contribute. With Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan and Bhanuka Rajapaksa in the top order, Punjab can easily dominate the attack of the rival team.
Odeon Smith and Shah Rukh Khan are also known to deliver the ball and will need to play the role of ‘finisher’ more consistently. Punjab had included Kagiso Rabada in their attack but none of the bowlers worked against Andre Russell. So they will soon have to unite and bowl in the right areas. The role of the two spinners, Rahul Chahar and Harpreet Brar, will be crucial and could be a key factor in the outcome of the match.
