Five reasons why Chennai Super Kings can be the champions of IPL 2018

3) The depth in batting CSK possess

The depth of batting in the CSK squad ensures they post too many runs to chase down

Chennai Super Kings have been scoring runs at will and have scored 180+ runs on seven occasions. A large part of the credit owes its onus to the fact that the team is filled with veterans of the game, who know how to pile up runs irrespective of the opposition.

They have a fantastic opener in Shane Watson who has been in great form recently by scoring 328 runs in 10 innings. He has been partnered very ably by Ambati Rayudu. Besides that, Faf du Plessis is back after sitting out the first few games through injury and Suresh Raina is regaining his touch with each game. Murali Vijay is an able opener who can come in whenever required and do the damage.

In the middle order, Sam Billings has proved himself as a dangerous batsman. MS Dhoni has been a catalyst to their wins so far, with Dwayne Bravo and Ravindra Jadeja left to add the finishing touch.
