Delhi Capitals were always the second favourites to win this encounter. However, Rishabh Pant and his team had different ideas. They defeated Chennai Super Kings to hand the defending champions the first loss of their season. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two changes CSK could make for their next game against SRH. SRH is a strong side with an excellent batting line-up. The Hyderabad venue saw more than 500 runs being scored in the last encounter. Hence, CSK could ring in a few changes based on the conditions.
1) Mukesh Choudhary for Mustafizur Rahman
If CSK does not pick wickets in the powerplay, they could be in for some trouble against SRH. Hence, having a specialist for this phase of the innings will be a good idea for the team.
Yes, Mustafizur has been a good pacer for CSK so far but for this combination, looking at the opposition and the venue, CSK could opt for a slight change. The other day, none of the Mumbai Indians pacers could do well against SRH. Hence, if Mukesh can swing the ball and exploit this phase of the innings well, it could the team good in the context of the match.
2) Moeen Ali for Sameer Rizvi
Moeen Ali for Sameer Rizvi is one of the changes CSK could make for their next game against SRH. In Hyderabad, there could be a need for an extra left-handed batter because SRH’s core spin attack comprises Mayank Markhande and Shahbaz Ahmed. Both these players spin into the left-hander and this could be an advantage for Moeen.
Also, Moeen offers one extra spin option to Ruturaj Gaikwad. CSK usually does not play with one spinner but they have been doing it for the past few games. Some variety in the bowling attack could be helpful in the next game against SRH, which contains a solid batting attack.
