SRH strength is disciplined bowling by seamers and spin. CSK are the best batters of spin.Remember we picked a team to play on turning tracks on Chennai so batting well against spin.Raina and Rayadu(Jadhav as well) are two of tHe best hitters against spin and has handled Rashid Khan exceptionally well in the past.Raina has like 200+ SR against Rashid and Rayadu average like 50+ . And our batsmen (Raina Watson Rayadu Dhoni ) are all great at hitting good length delivers and Yorkers. Most of them struggle against real pace and SRH doesnt have that .Not even a variation of left arm seam.Just same 120-130+ seam bowling without any variation. And finally where SRH have done best in IPL is Bhuvi at the death with his Yorkers. He is one of the few bowlers who doesn't go for much change ups at death and nails the Yorkers time and again.Problem is Dhoni is one of the few (whether u hate to admit or not) best at hitting Yorkers at death.Thats why he has such hold over Bhuvi and Williamson is scared of bowling at death against CSK which always screws up your game plan. This current CSK line up would have been a world beater circa 2011-2012....However they have taken everyone by surprise winning with a over the hill team....Dhoni is good at hitting Yorkers atleast these days when it is at the stumps, he no longer has neither the reflexes or the reach to hit Yorkers bowled a little wide of off stump. This has nothing to do with Dhoni’s amazing skill here, sure he did come off in a couple of games but for most of the tourney he was hit or miss. Raina and Bhajji are washed up....Jadeja just like Dhoni was hit or miss too and that too as a bowler...it is a joke to call him An allrounder anymore...Bravo the same. Thakur is bang average. Chahar is ok at the top . Lungi is pretty good. Rayudu seems to be in the form of his life. Watson just like Gayle a few years back still shows he has it in him still to be a big time name in league cricket even though international career is done. However what worked in CSk’s favor is that one of the players stepped up in every game even though overall individually they have been mediocre for example Faf in the qualifiers. Now that is why people are not giving CSK enough due nor going Gaga over the captaincy because games were won due to individual brilliance and not due to some great captaincy or an outstanding team. Coming to SRH apart from Warner who was not playing and Williamson who is a superstar of cricket but obviously not T20 cricket, this is a team that thrives on discipline and just pure hard work and consistency....nothing flashy about it. I wouldn’t over analyze here...just that it was Watson’s day one day and Faf’s the other day pretty much. Congrats on the win...obviously can’t nitpick too much as at the end who has the silverware gets the bragging rights.

In IPL 18 we tied you 1-1. We are as good as you were this season, if not better. The only thing you were better at was beating weaker sides like SRH and RR. We took those games lightly and paid the price. Your team on the other hand revels in trashing those minnows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
