Pat Cummins To Bring Back T Natarajan? SRH's Probable XI For IPL 2024 Match Vs CSK

The IPL 2024 is off to a fantastic start and in the 18th match of the season, Sunrisers Hyderabad are up against Chennai Super Kings. It is the second home game for SRH and it is a tough one as their opponents Chennai Super Kings are a quality team and would be itching to bounce back after a loss against DC.
SRH though would be confident of their chances in their own backyard as they hammered record-breaking 277 against MI in their first home game. They have lost two other games though which they did not play at home and this is a great opportunity for Pat Cummins and co. to find their mojo again.
The Orange Army has a powerful batting line-up, and with the likes of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen all playing impactful knocks so far, their batting is more or less sorted.
However, their bowlers have been expensive and that is something they need to work out going ahead in the tournament. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has not been able to pick wickets so far but has bowled some important overs while Unadkat had done decently. Pat Cummins has been good as a leader but he can do more with the ball.
They are missing a good death bowler though, and T Natarajan who bowled brilliantly in the first game, has been out since then due to an injury. He is most likely to make his comeback against CSK though, and that is a huge boost for SRH against a strong unit like CSK.
SRH Probable Playing XI vs CSK -
Travis Head, Mayank Agarwal, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen (WK), Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins (C), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, Jaydev Unadkat.
Impact Players : Umran Malik, Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, T Nataranjan, Rahul Tripathi.
Note: T Natarajan will play in the XI if SRH bowls first.
