IPL 2018: Chennai Super Kings' 7-factor analysis 

#3 Slog overs batting (overs 16 - 20)

MS Dhoni once again proved that he is the best finisher

CSK's slog overs batting was instrumental in the two victories. Stupendous batting by Dwayne Bravo in the first match followed by sublime hitting in the second match by Sam Billings lead CSK to victories in respective matches. In the third match, a gritty knock by MS Dhoni brought CSK painfully close to a victory, reiterating the fact that he is still the best finisher in the game.

Jadeja has looked a bit rusty in the slog overs and sending him above in-form Bravo to maintain the left hand-right hand combination has not reaped fruits. Even in the third match this move backfired as Jadeja scored a paltry 19 of 13.

Overall, CSK's slog overs batting looks powerful. Have a look at the slog overs batting stats -
