IPL 2018: SRH players CSK can target in the final

#3 Khaleel Ahmed/Sandeep Sharma/Basil Thampi

Sandeep Sharma was dropped from the playing XI in the eliminator

Despite being the best bowling unit of IPL 2018, SRH have struggled with the ball in the last few matches. One of the major reasons for this has been the inconsistent performance of their third fast-bowler. Sandeep Sharma, whom they persisted with for a long time, faltered in the latter stages after having a fantastic start to the season. In his last 4 matches, Sandeep has taken 4 wickets with a high economy of 10.46.

His replacement in the eliminator, Khaleel Ahmed, didn't have the best of IPL debuts. Khaleel, who warmed the bench for 15 matches, finally got his opportunity against KKR. However, he seemed to be done in by the big occasion and went for 38 runs in 3 overs.

The other option SRH have is Basil Thampi, who went for 70 runs, the most in IPL history, in his last match against RCB. No matter which player gets a chance in the final, he will be under tremendous pressure against a red-hot CSK batting line-up.
