SUPER SATURDAY is here and a cracker of a game awaits us this afternoon at the Chepauk in Chennai. Dravid's Rajasthan Royals will be taking on MSD's Chennai Super Kings at 4 p.m today. The Royals have surprised everyone with their performance in this edition of the IPL and have gelled together well as a team. Dravid has really led the side well and backed the youngsters who haven't disappointed too. Rahane has been the star performer for the Royals and they would be banking on him again to do the job for them. Post retirement, Dravid has been playing more freely and scoring runs too. The opening duo of Dravid and Rahane have provided good solid starts to the Royals so far. Players like Hodge and Shah in the middle order have been winning them matches from tough situations. The experienced Brad Hogg has bowled economically so far and batsmen are finding it difficult to read him. Royals will be hoping to continue their winning momentum today as well.
CSK have pulled of a couple of superb victories in this IPL and are a really tough side to beat at home. The change in the batting order in the last match paid off and Badrinath seized the oppurtunity of opening the innings with both hands. du Plessis has scoring runs consistently at the top of the order for CSK and Dhoni would be hoping that he fires again today. With hard-hitting batsmen like Raina, Dhoni, Jadeja and Bravo in the ranks, CSK havw the potential of destroying any bowling attack on their day. They would surely be missing Albie Morkel but would be hoping that the others do the job for them. Kulasekara , Bollinger and Ashwin have bowled splendidly well in the death overs and picked up wickets at crucial times. So, a great battle full of action awaits you at 4 p.m today. Don,t forget to catch the action live on Set Max. Here is a list of the key players from both the teams:
ROYALS-Dravid, Rahane, Shah, Hodge and Hogg.
SUPER KINGS-Dhoni, Raina, du Plessis, Ashwin and Bravo.
