With Chennai Super Kings’ talsiman Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Dewald Brevis out of the first few matches due to injury, the Yellow Army will hope that their recent star signing Sanju Samson can compensate for the two big hitters’ absence as they take on Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati.
With CSK buying 20-year-old left-arm spin all-rounder Prashant Veer who impressed in domestic T20s as well as the uncapped recruit Kartik Sharma in the auction, they will look to give both a start in order to find the perfect balance. But all eyes will be on Samson, who returns to face his former franchise RR and skipper Gaikwad, CSK’s new opening pair.
For Rajasthan though, this will be skipper Riyan Parag’s real test but with big hitters like Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Yashasvi jaiswal and Shimron Hetmyer as well as the experience of former CSK man Ravindra Jadeja in their midst, RR will look to start this season off to a bang.
