#1 Battle of Indian batsman
If you take a look at both these sides, a lot of Indian core will be on the display when it comes to the batting department. CSK's middle order looks to be more of what we see the team playing for the Indian team currently and the Royals too, rely on the Indian batsmen with the likes of Sanju Samson and Ajinkya Rahane leading the pack.
The likes of Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni have not needed much so far in the tournament as CSK have depended mostly on their bowling prowess with Imran Tahir and Dwayne Bravo taking 4, Harbhajan Singh and Ravindra Jadeja 3 wickets. All of them are among top 10 wicket takers in the tournament so far.
This could be the game where Raina and others will have the center stage, which was not needed in both the previous games.
