IPL 2018 CSK vs SRH: 5 players battles to look forward to

#4 Lungi Ngidi v Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan

South African paceman Lungi Ngidi is going to come back into the side today following a disappointing performance from David Willey in the previous game and it is his opening battle with Shikhar Dhawan that is going to hold the key for CSK’s bowling effort.

Their fast bowling has not been up to the mark so far but the addition of Ngidi provides the side with a hugely talented pacer, who can trouble the best in the business. He has played in 3 games so far and has recorded an excellent economy rate of 7.81.

Now, he will be up against SRH’s star opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan, who roared back into form in the last game with a superb unbeaten 92.

Considering the fact that SRH’s batting line-up is heavily dependent on their top-order, the left-hander’s wicket is going to be absolutely vital and Ngidi’s opening spell against him could be a very testing one.
