Here are the three key player battles to watch out for during the CSK vs SRH match:
1) Travis Head vs Ravindra Jadeja
Travis Head is having a terrific season so far and is smashing bowlers. But he seems to struggle against spinners on especially on the turning tracks and CSK would be working on it as the pitches in Chennai will support spinners, which is why Ravindra Jadeja will be more lethal. Therefore, it will be interesting to see the battle between these two in the CSK vs SRH match.
2) Abhishek Sharma vs Deepak Chahar
Abhishek Sharma smashed a 12-ball 37 when he faced Chennai bowlers last time. He is in great form too and can take the game away in the powerplay itself. However, Deepak Chahar has troubled the Hyderabad batter. Chahar has dismissed Abhishek twice and has given 16 runs as well. Therefore, it will be an interesting to see who will come up on top in this battle.
3) Heinrich Klaasen vs Matheesha Pathirana
Heinrich Klaasen is a very destructive batter and his wicket will be a massive for CSK because he bats through the middle and final overs, he can take SRH to a big score. On the other hand, Matheesha Pathirana loves bowling quick yorkers, which makes it hard for batters to hit boundaries. It will be an exciting battle to watch out when both teams will meet at the Chepauk.
