IPL 2018: Three key battles in CSK vs SRH playoff match

#3 Dhoni vs Bhuvi at the death

Dhoni has been at his best this IPL

Arguably one of the best finishers in white ball cricket, against a very good bowler at the death could be very riveting to watch. What makes this battle even more interesting is that MS Dhoni has got his mojo back in this year's IPL.

Dhoni usually starts off a little slow and gets going in the death overs, but this year has been different as he has started off aggressively, and by the time death overs comes, he is in a murderous mood and almost impossible for the bowlers to restrict his big hitting.

One of the key reasons why SRH were the first to qualify was their bowling, especially in the death. Even though Bhuvneshwar Kumar has not been at his best in IPL 2018 due to injury, in the big games, everyone in the SRH camp will hope that the senior India bowler will produce the goods for his side.

Bhuvnehswar's variations and the calmness he brings during the death overs has been his strength over the last few years and he will need all of that against MS Dhoni, particularly if the former India skipper is in a devastating mood.
