Players to watch out for in SRH vs CSK
Abhishek Sharma
The SRH opener hasn’t been at his best so far in the season, with just one half-century to his name. He has scored 129 runs from five innings and will be desperate to have a big score against his name, especially after registering a golden duck in the previous fixture.
Anshul Kamboj
The right-arm seamer is the second-highest wicket taker of the season so far with ten scalps to his name from five innings at an average of 18.90 and an economy of 10.12. With CSK set to face a power-packed batting line-up in the upcoming fixture, Kamboj will again hold the key for his team at the high-scoring Rajiv Gandhi stadium.
