The 46th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be poised for a thrilling showdown between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai on April 28, Sunday.

Chennai Super Kings has changed their lineup in order to accommodate Moeen Ali into their setup.

Ajinkya Rahane now opens with his skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, who perfectly complement each other both by hand and skill set.

Daryl Mitchell will now play at 3, which increases his efficiency because he’s better at starting against pace rather than spin, and him playing in the top order means Chennai’s soon bashers will get to face a lot of spin.

Jadeja’s Batting Order Shuffle

Ravindra Jadeja’s promotion at 4 may have some impact on Chennai’s batting order because he’s not at his best when he starts against Spin Bowling, and his real value kicks in during the death overs.

Shivam Dube and Moeen Ali are two of the biggest intent merchants. They are capable of taking down spinners of all kinds and bowling them out of attack. With Ali coming in now, Chennai will have another spin bowling option with them.

Dhoni’s Lasting Impact

MS Dhoni, even at his final stages, has had a huge impact on the league. His brute power and hitting skills have ensured Chennai always gets the finishing they dream of.

Deepak Chahar and Tushar Deshpande will take up the new ball in search of new ball wickets. Chahar will bowl an extended spell with the new cherry because of his effectiveness against the new ball, while Deshpande will bowl a couple of overs in the middle.

Mustafizur Rahman and Matheesha Pathirana will bowl in the middle and death overs of the innings. Rahman with his cutters may cause some trouble to the opposition, while Pathirana, with his unique action, poses a different challenge for the batters.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali, MS Dhoni, Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mustafizur Rahman, Matheesha Pathirana
