Injury concerns riddle CSK too
The injury that ruled out Ayush Mhatre in the previous match is likely to disrupt the CSK batting order. Kartik Sharma is likely to be the replacement. The side also has the option of getting in Urvil Patel at the top.
Besides that, MS Dhoni’s return is keenly awaited too. The talisman was seen keeping wickets during the practice sessions in the build-up to this contest.
