IPL 2024, CSK vs SRH Match 46: 3 key player battles for today's match

The Chennai Super Kings are all set to face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 46th game of IPL 2024, slated to take place on April 28 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Notably, CSK are in the sixth spot with just 4 wins in the tournament so far however SRH are currently in the third spot with five wins in the marquee event. However, both sides look to place themselves in the playoffs owing to their strong position in the points table.

Meanwhile, check out the top 3 battles to watch out for in the upcoming clash:

1. Shivam Dube vs Pat Cummins

CSK batter Shivam Dube has performed extremely well in the IPL 2024 as he has hammered 311 runs from the eight games with a solid strike rate of 170. Notably, the southpaw has three fifties to his name as well as the full chance to defeat SRH in the next game. However, SRH skipper Pat Cummins is the only bowler who can get rid of Shivam Dube in the next game. Meanwhile, Dube had faced difficulties in scoring runs against Pat Cummins so it will be an interesting battle to witness between both.

2. Travis Head vs Deepak Chahar

SRH opening batter Travis Head seems to be in sublime form having scored 325 runs with a solid strike rate of 213. Notably, the left-handed batter can potentially score many runs in the next clash against CSK to help his side get the win. However, CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad might use Deepak Chahar to get him out of the powerplays to help his side in getting a sigh of relief.

3. Heinrich Klaasen vs Matheesha Pathirana

It seems that SRH once again depends upon Klaasen to show his form to boost the middle order and the lower order in the game. Notably, the swashbuckling batter has 275 runs from eight games with a dynamic strike rate of 200. However, Klaseen will be having a huge challenge this time as he needs to face Pathirana who proved lethal, especially in the death overs for Chennai. Meanwhile,  Pathirana was the one who had dismissed him early in the game.
