Both the teams have had starkly contrasting starts to their respective campaigns. While CSK bounced back from a loss in their tournament opener to win four games on the trot, SRH have won just one of their five games and are coming off a narrow Super Over defeat to DC.

CSK are coming off a dominant win over RCB at the Wankhede in Mumbai. A complete all-round performance from Ravindra Jadeja helped them secure a 69-run win and momentarily head to the top of the table. Faf Du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad started well after MS Dhoni chose to bat after winning the toss.

Nevertheless, CSK's confident approach this season hasn't been reliant on one player, as different players have stepped up for them this season. That is something they will look to do against SRH as well.

SRH lost David Warner early in their chase, and Jonny Bairstow soon followed. Kane Williamson, though, kept batting despite losing partners consistently. A late cameo from Jagadeesha Suchith helped them match DC's total. However, Warner and Williamson could score only seven runs which the DC batters chased down.

Nevertheless, with Williamson in, SRH look like a better team, but they need their top order to step up. It'll be interesting to see how Rashid Khan bowls in this game, as CSK have a good record against him.

CSK look to have settled on the right team combination for the season. Unless Moeen Ali is fit for this game, they could stick with the same team that took the field against RCB.

SRH have made a lot of changes to their team this season. They could ring in the changes once more after a defeat and a change in venue. Virat Singh is likely to be dropped for one of Priyam Garg or Manish Pandey. Sandeep Sharma could return to the team, as he has a decent record against CSK.

SRH's batting order looks very fragile, and their bowlers also look non-threatening, apart from Rashid Khan. CSK seem to be the stronger team on paper and should succeed on a surface that looks similar to the Chepauk in Chennai.
