Super Kings looking to draw first blood against Warriors

 

The Chennai Super Kings backyard is pumped up and ready to take revenge in their Den for their loss in the last outing against Pune Warriors in a game that any team might have won.

The balanced Chennai side is now facing a heavy drawback in the absence of allrounder Albie Morkel. There were some news spreading around that captain MS Dhoni is not fit to play this game. But Coach Stephen fleming confirmed his presence saying "He is completely fine to lead the side on Thursday."  [Complete Details]

The team on the other hand looks a little worried without Morkel, With Vijay not in best of his form. Coach Stephen shows faith on him saying "He is a good player. coaching is a very tough job and it is my duty to help him find his form". On the other side Du Plesis is in the form of his lifetime. Making a contribution in almost every winning match of the Super Kings. Raina is ready for a big knock in a crucial game like this and looks promising enough to deliver one.

Middle Order Jadeja, Bravo are ready to go all guns blazing. But, batsmen of Badrinath`s caliber is having a very quiet competition. We all know how good a player he is when he times the ball with the middle of his willow, made some very useful contributions in the past. The batting order is up to captain MS Dhoni to decide based on the match situation.

Bowling is yet to fire for Chennai. After missing the last match Bollinger will look to give his 100% in this particular battle and pick wickets to put Kings in the driving seat. Yo Mahesh or Kulasekara should give way to bollinger, that would be a tough task to leave one. Ashwin was economical except for the last game but he's not in his best yet unlike previous editions, but IPL is a long tournament. Jadeja and Jakati are doing thier supportive part just perfect for the bowling department.

Undoubtfully this will be a cracking contest. Looking forward to some fireworks!
