Here are three player battles to watch out for during CSK vs SRH match:

1) Ruturaj Gaikwad vs Marco Jansen

Ruturaj Gaikwad started the tournament with a bang, but has struggled to maintain his momentum since then. In a bid to play aggressively, he has often lost his wicket early. However, he will look to build a solid innings against SRH. Gaikwad will face off against the tall left-arm pace of Marco Jansen, who troubled the decorated MI batting lineup with his disconcerting bounce. Jansen will fancy his chances with the new ball against Gaikwad, and if he manages to dismiss the opener early, it will be a big advantage for SRH.

2) Rahul Tripathi vs Mahesh Theekshana

Rahul Tripathi was SRH’s standout batter last season and was called up for national duty. However, barring one game, he has struggled to find his rhythm and has often been dismissed early. He will look to change the narrative when he faces Mahesh Theekshana, who has also struggled for success this season. It will be an intriguing battle to watch as two out-of-form players come up against each other in testing times.

3) Aiden Markram vs Ravindra Jadeja

Aiden Markram’s stay at the crease against MI was crucial for SRH, as he brings a sense of calmness to their otherwise chaotic top order. He is nimble-footed against spin, which allows him to get in good positions while facing it. Markram will face a challenging task against the skill of Ravindra Jadeja, who has been in good form with the ball. Jadeja will look to exploit the away-going angle to Markram. The winner of this battle could have a significant impact on the game’s outcome.
