CSK vs SRH, Match 29: Top Five Picks

1.Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK): Ruturaj Gaikwad is CSK's leading run-scorer so far in this edition. The right-handed batter has amassed 200 runs in 5 innings at an average of 50.00 with 2 fifties. With scores of 3 and 8 in the last 2 matches, Gaikwad is due for a big knock.

2.Devon Conway (CSK): Devon Conway has struck the second-most runs for CSK after Gaikwad. The left-handed Kiwi has racked up 181 runs in 5 innings at an average of 36.20 with 2 half-centuries. With back-to-back fifties in his last 2 outings, Conway is also a man in form.

3.Moeen Ali (CSK): Moeen Ali is yet to join the party as he has amassed just 68 runs in 4 innings so far. Though, he is joint-second with most wickets (6) for his side this season. Five of his wickets have come at Chennai so the all-rounder is expected to deliver a good performance.

4.Aiden Markram (SRH): Barring his first match, SRH captain Aiden Markram has got starts in all the next 3 games with scores of 37*, 50 and 22. The right-handed batter has been in great form in international cricket and domestic T20 leagues in 2023.

5.Harry Brook (SRH): Youngster Harry Brook became the first centurion of this year's IPL when he hammered 100* off just 55 against Kolkata Knight Riders. His other 4 innings has produced scores of just 13, 3, 13 and 9. The talented batter would look to go big again in this fixture.
