The Ravindra Jadeja-led side is expected to find the rhythm with the bat and ball after having lost 3 games back to back in the ongoing season. While their opener Ruturaj Gaikwad's poor form has become one of the main reasons for their troubled beginning, skipper Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali, and Ambati Rayudu have also failed to stamp their authority in the ongoing season. The defending champions are reeling under immense pressure due to the absence of their star player Deepak Chahar and their other bowlers except Dwayne Bravo have also failed to perform.
On the other hand is Sunrisers Hyderabad who are sitting at the bottom of the table after suffering 2 losses in both their games so far. An unbalanced squad has been SRH's biggest nemesis this season. Although their bowling attack has fared considerably well, the batters have hardly complimented them. The Kane Williamson-led side will look to bounce back when the 2018 finalists collide at the DY Patil Stadium.
The head-to-head gap hugely favours CSK, who have won 12 out of 16 matches that they have played against each other so far. SRH have only won 4.

SRH Playing XI: Kane Williamson (c), Rahul Tripathi, Abhishek Sharma, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Aiden Markram, Abdul Samad, Washington Sundar, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Umran Malik.
