Five things Kings XI Punjab should do to beat Chennai Super Kings

Five things Kings XI Punjab should do to beat Chennai Super Kings: We are up for an exciting battle later tonight at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium as Chennai Super Kings host Kings XI Punjab. Last season, both the teams played three matches and in all those occasions, Kings XI bulldozed the Super Kings quite convincingly. But in this season, while Super Kings are heading towards the top, KXIP are in the seventh position after losing three of their five matches. A win tonight will put them back on track. Let’s take a look at the five things what the Kings XI should do to dismantle the Super Kings at home.

5. Open the bowling with a spinner:

Kings XI Punjab should consider going in with two frontline spinners in today’s match. Akshar Patel is finally getting into his grove and another spinner backing him will do wonders for them. Opening the bowling with a spinner will be an interesting option as Chennai Super Kings opener Brendon McCullum has some difficulties while playing the spinners at the start of the innings especially when the ball moves away from him. Getting him early will put the brakes on CSK right away. It won’t be a bad idea if Kings XI prefer leg-spinner Karanveer Singh to offie Shivam Sharma.
