IPL 2018: Top 4 teams with a strong middle-order

#3 Chennai Super Kings

Dhoni will add solidify the CSK batting line-up

A two-time champion, Chennai Super Kings is the only team to make it to the qualifiers in every season they have played.

The team looks very balanced with the top order consisting of Faf du Plessis, Murali Vijay, and the ever-dependable Suresh Raina.

The inclusion of the Aussie all-rounder, Shane Watson has added to the power hitting game of CSK. He has got the ability to bat in the top order and even in the middle whenever needed.

The core of Chennai's middle order will be MS Dhoni. He hasn't been in the best of forms recently but given the nature of the game, he can be a match-winner any day.

The power he possesses is just ridiculous. He has a strong bottom hand that generates sufficient power for his helicopter shot.

Apart from the skipper, Kedar Jadhav is going to be an impact player for the franchise. He was purchased for a whopping price of Rs. 7.80 crores.

A lot will depend on him in the middle order. The lower middle order includes the likes of Dwayne Bravo and Ravindra Jadeja who have got the power to slog at the death overs.

Overall, when one looks at the batting line-up of CSK, it seems really promising. A firm top order with the experience of Suresh Raina, backed by the powers of Dhoni, Watson, and Jadhav in the middle order, Chennai has got all that it takes to win the title.
