IPL 2024 – Match 18, SRH vs CSK: Mayank Agarwal Out, Rahul Tripathi In? Sunrisers Hyderabad Probable Playing 11 vs Chennai Super Kings
Mayank Agarwal's sluggish form becoming a concern for SRH
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be facing Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match number 18 of IPL 2024, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on 5th April, Friday.
Sunrisers Hyderabad has won one match so far out of three matches, their only win has come so far against Mumbai Indians.
On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings has won two matches so far out of three matches, they lost their previous match to DC by 20 runs.
Rahul Tripathi Could Replace Mayank Agarwal:
Mayank started well for SRH against KKR but he has struggled with the bat in the last two matches, SRH might replace him with Rahul Tripathi.
Anmolpreet Singh is another opener in the SRH team who can replace Mayank Agarwal in the team.
Over-dependence on Klaasen
Heinrich Klaasen has been the best batter of SRH since 2023 and SRH has become quite dependent on him, while Markram has not looked in the best of his form.
SRH can consider replacing Markram with Glenn Phillips who has been in great form over the last 12 months.
T Natarajan Likely to Return:
T Natarajan who impressed everyone in the first match of SRH with his three-wicket haul, missed the next two matches due to an injury but he is expected to be back for this clash.
With Natarajan’s return one of Jaydev Unadkat or Bhuvenshwar Kumar could go out of the XI.
Probable XI of SRH vs CSK:
Mayank Agarwal, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins (c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, T Natarajan.
