Chennai — Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will look to go level on points with table-toppers Rajasthan Royals when they play against Kings XI Punjab in an Indian Premier League (IPL) contest at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here on Saturday. Royals are currently at the top of the IPL perch with 10 points from six matches. CSK are close on their heels with eight points from five games.
CSK though have a healthier run rate (+.0948) than Royals (+0.459) and a comprehensive victory on Saturday may well make them the new league leaders. Two-time champions CSK have looked a formidable outfit, boasting of a strong batting line-up. Kiwi Brendon McCullum has led their batting charge and has been well supported by Suresh Raina and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. South African Faf du Plessis, a top-order batsman has also taken a liking to his new role as a finisher of matches lower down the order.
But it’s not to think that they depend on their batting solely to win matches. Veteran pacer Asish Nehra has been utilising his vast experience to provide the team early breakthroughs. Mohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin also have the requisite ability to complement Nehra with the ball. Kings XI have endured a topsy-turvy campaign so far, winning just two of the five matches to be at the sixth spot.
Unlike CSK, their batting has failed to fire too often with Australian dasher Glenn Maxwell and South African big-hitter David Miller disappointing mightily.
Their troubles are similar to Virender Sehwag who has failed to capitalise on decent starts. Punjab will be waiting for the trio to wake up from their slumber.
