CSK Key Players
- Devon Conway- the 31 year old has not hit a half-century in either of his last two innings. However, he hit 56 runs the last time Chennai Super Kings were up against Kolkata Knight Riders.

CSK Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Mitchell Santner, Subhranshu Senapati, Shaik Rasheed, Akash Singh
This is a tough team to get into but 18 year old Shaik Rasheed is a big turner of the ball and he could enjoy bowling on this wicket. Subhranshu Senapati has hit four half-centuries in T20 cricket.
