IPL 2020: CSK VS KXIP, MATCH 18, PREDICTED PLAYING XI AND ANALYSIS

CSK: Predicted playing XI: Ambati Rayudu, Faf Du Plessis, Shane Watson, Kedar Jadhav, Raturaj Gaikwad, MS Dhoni, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Lungi Ngidi, Piyush Chawla

KXIP: Predicted playing XI: Mayank Agarwal, KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, Karun Nair, Glenn Maxwell, Nicholas Pooran, Chris Jordan, Sheldon Cotrell, Murugan Ashwin, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammad Shami,

Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai

Toss: 7:00 pm (IST)

Match: 7:30 pm (IST)

Analysis: For CSK, Rayudu and Du Plessis can add needed runs at opening whereas, Watson, Gaikwad, Dhoni, Curran, and Jadeja can help them add stability at their respective positions. Dhoni has been fabulous despite what happened in CSK’s last match but it was normal as a sportsman and he still is a great leader. Jadeja, Chahar, and Piyush Chawla can pick some massive wickets as they will be trying to maintain their momentum today.

On the other hand, Agarwal and Rahul can be the best opening duo in the IPL history as they rank first and second respectively in the orange caps list. They might try Gayle and the remaining batting lads, Maxwell, Pooran, and Jordan can be consistent in mid-overs in T20. Their bowlers, Shami and Bishnoi are going pretty fine. Cotrell, who lost the momentum, hit back in KXIP’s last game.
