There has been so much talk about the Super Kings over the last few days, a team that has lost two games in a row, and is currently at the slumped down the points table. MS Dhoni and his men have got quite a few questions to answer but the return of Dwayne Bravo and Ambati Rayudu is expected to be a relief.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad, meanwhile, have an exactly opposite progression chart in the league. The ‘Men in Orange’ lost their first two games but got back on track in the last game against the Delhi Capitals (DC). Yet, they are also bogged down by a few questions about the composition of the side. Moreover, CSK having a 9-3 lead in the head-to-head record is not something that would please them and they would like to improve upon that.
