Their batting earlier solely revovled around the 'Captain Cool' MS Dhoni. The other batsmen like Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu and Dwayne Bravo haven't shown their true worth.

But in their last 4-5 league games, we could see the other batsmen slowly stepping up to the plate and delivering on the faith and promised bestowed on them. Shane Watson after continuous failures roared back to form against SRH.

Suresh Raina's 359 runs with three fifties has come at the perfect time for CSK. But the biggest positive for them is the return to form of Faf du Plessis. Faf possesses the quality of judging the conditions very well and accelerating when required.

With Faf, Raina and Dhoni in fine form, CSK are in good hands and would fancy themselves at home against MI in the first Qualifier.
