Rishabh Pant is also not expected to play this game as he might take a few more days to recover from his hamstring injury. They would hope that their bowlers keep up their good work.

Chennai Super Kings:

MS Dhoni would have been satisfied with the win. The ‘intent’ was evident in all 3 aspects- bat, ball, and field. Fans would be hoping that CSK pulls off a similar comeback as they did in 2010, when they had just won 3 out of their first 8 games. If they win this game, the competition for the 4th place will certainly become very intense. They are expected to go unchanged in this match.
