Fantasy Pick: Lead with Rahul Tripathi and Abhishek Sharma
Fantasy suggestions for the IPL 2022 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings
May 1: SRH vs CSK, 46th Match, Pune
Sunrisers' No. 3 Tripathi loves batting against Super Kings: he has 232 runs at an average of 33.14 and a strike rate of 150.65 against them. He has been aggressive against pace bowling this season, scoring 156 runs at a strike rate of 179.31 and an average of 52. And with Super Kings' quicks also having the highest economy rate of all teams this season (9.44), expect Tripathi to play a big knock.
The opener has been in terrific form this season, scoring 285 runs at an average of 35.62, and is so far the leading run-scorer for his side. Among those runs, 154 have come in the powerplay with just two dismissals in that phase. He scored a 50-ball 75 the last time he played against Super Kings.
Shivam Dube: One of the few positives for Super Kings in their forgettable first half this season has been Dube's form with the bat. He is the leading run-scorer for them with 247 runs in eight innings at a strike rate of 159.35. Dube is due for a big knock after a few consecutive low scores.
MS Dhoni: Dhoni has shown glimpses of his vintage form this season with knocks like 28* (13) and 50 (38). Against Sunrisers in IPL, he has scored 480 runs in 17 innings at an average of 53.33 and a strike rate of 145.90. Plus, Dhoni has 94 runs in 57 balls without getting out even once against Bhuvneshwar Kumar in IPL.
