#2 Play Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh has been kept out of the side for the last 2 games and he needs to come back into the side for the match against KXIP especially due to the threat posed by Punjab's destructive left-handers.
Chris Gayle and David Miller will be players around who Punjab's batting will revolve around and if they go unprepared, the batsmen can smash them all around the park. Gayle has had a good record against CSK and Bhajji will want to pick up his wicket early on.
Also, the ball will surely turn on a hot evening where there will be no sign of dew and he will be an X-Factor for CSK if he plays. Ideally, CSK must play Scott Kuggeleijn instead of Bravo and Harbhajan Singh instead of Mohit Sharma so that the team balance is maintained.
Shardul Thakur is another option to be shipped out but he's a better fielder than Mohit and though both of have been poor, Thakur has more pace and he has looked good on a few occasions.
