Dhoni, jaddu, watson, Bravo, Raina all have struggled. Watson has done well for Thunders batting at 3 this season. Different conditions but surely the batting form is evident. Raina has a ton recently in SMA. Bravo is good enough batsman for the position he will bat at.

It will probably be along the lines you mentioned. However, I think both Vijay and Watto are slowing down, etc. My own pick would be: Vijay, Faf, Raina, Dhoni, Jadhav, Bravo, Santner, Jaddu, Karn, Thakur, Tahir for home pitches specially prepared for spinners.

With the number of spinners CSK has picked, I think the wickets will definitely be spin friendly. Faf can open. And if they use him as opener then well they can pick Tahir by using some Indian all-rounder in middle order.
Unstable Joe Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 What I will choose: Faf Du Plessis / Sam Billings Murali Vijay Suresh Raina Shane Watson Kedar Jadhav MS Dhoni (c) (wk) Dwayne Bravo Harbhajan Singh / Karn Sharma Ravindra Jadeja Lungi Ngidi / Mark Wood / Mitchell Santner Shardul Thakur

I would rather have Faf open since he's more versatile IMO than Watto (who is no longer what he was).

He has those safe ground shots piercing the fielders. Watto relies a lot on over the head hits. He was successful in this Big Bash batting for Thunders at No. 3. He bowled only in 2 matches this Big bash iirc. On Indian wickets he will be less effective if he could not in Big Bash. I would have Faf over Watto at this point of time. Faf also is a better fielder than him. I doubt Watson will play all matches like Bravo. Vijy 1

There is even the option of getting in Rayudu or Shorey at 4, and playing Wood/Ngidi instead of Thakur. Santner would be No.10 and Wood at 11. Or open with Billings and play Faf at 4 if Watson doesn't show form Unstable Joe 1

BeautifulGame Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Faf will and should open the batting .He can score big in the powerplay and then consolidate in the middle overs.All our stroke makers like Raina Vijay Jadhav can bat around him. Edited February 6, 2018 by BeautifulGame
BeautifulGame Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) As for the first XI Faf (Billings as back up) Vijay Raina Jadhav Dhoni Rayadu / Shorey Bravo (Watson as back up) Jadeja Bhajji / Thakur / Chahar / Asif Karn / Tahir ( Depending on how Vijay is playing ) Wood (Ngidi as back up) Edited February 6, 2018 by BeautifulGame
