CSK vs MI - Post Match Review | What Next? | CSK vs RR - Pre Match Analysis | IPL 2020

The first match of IPL 2020... It was an unexpected victory for Chennai Super Kings! You could call it a morale booster No matter how much they praise Mumbai Indians, calling them an excellent team or Champion team, All that matters is what you do on that particular day! Chennai Super Kings played brilliantly and won the first match against Mumbai Indians! This would raise the confidence of our boys as they go into the IPL 2020! The toss was won by Chennai Super Kings! Our Mahendra Singh Dhoni asked Mumbai Indians to bat That was his decision Mumbai scored 40 runs in the first 4 overs! Rohit Sharma was playing deadly, and Quinton De Kock was in his top form And Deepak Chahar was a little expensive Under these circumstances, the Captain decided to bowl in Piyush Chawla for powerplay in 5th over! After the fall of Rohit Sharma's wicket, in the next over, our proud lion Sam Curran bowled and got a quick wicket in 6th over! It was suddenly 51 for 2! No one had expected Sam Curran to play 'Bubble to Bubble' is a huge deal Since he played the England vs Australia match, He was in the bubble there and came to this bubble directly! Under that situation, he could straight away perform So if you see, all the foreign players are playing bubble to bubble It was an excellent performance by Sam Curran His bowling was superb! He made some crucial knocks at the end It was a huge revelation that Sam Curran was there to take on Dwayne Bravo man to man In the middle overs, Mumbai Indians once again caught their rhythm, Saurabh Tiwari also performed unexpectedly He performed well, and Hardik Pandya started hitting as soon as he came! They had built up a dangerous rhythm! Lungi Ngidi! I didn't expect him to play He was very expensive! In the first 2 overs, he gave away 30 runs! But after that he made a really good comeback He bowled in second spell, and got three wickets in the next two overs! So Chennai Super Kings had a really good comeback in this match When it comes to fielding, at first they gave away a lot of runs But after that, Lungi Ngidi, Sam Curran.. 

Piyushh Chawla! He was pick of the bowlers in Chennai Super Kings that innings He was very economical He didn't give any runs He has justified his worth for the massive 6.5 crores he was bought for! He showed his skill, and experience as a leg spinner that he gained after playing for so long Who is the other game changer in CSK that we cannot forget? Faf du Plessis! Just like how you would pluck a mango from a tree, he jumped everywhere and caught the ball as if he were plucking a mango! He is there wherever you look, three catches! Brilliant catches and extraordinary fielding! Chennai Super Kings' ground fielding might have been a little poor, but catching... It was really good! I have to mention that Faf du Plessis was a game changer, when it comes to fielding At one point, Mumbai Indians was in a good rhythm Everyone feared that they would hit around 180 runs! It was a good comeback from Chennai Super Kings They restricted them for 163 runs It was a superb effort according to me You could call it slightly short of pass score In the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi Next let us look at batting. Batting was once again not good at the start In the first three overs, they had scored 6 runs for two wickets down already! It was a tricky situation And who saved our face that time? Just like Mahendra Bahubali, it was Ambati Rayudu and Faf du Plessis who arrived at the scene. They had a good partnership What is important in a partnership is that one must keep hitting the ball, and the other must keep rotating the strike and let the hitting batsman play That is what Faf de Plessis did He kept taking singles and gave strike to Rayudu and Rayudu was in a really good form! Every ball was striking the middle of bat One feature of his innings was that you cannot point out a region where he hit Off side, leg side, straight, everywhere! He played all the shots, backfoot, frontfoot... It was a superb innings! In fact, from what I've seen, I call it Ambati Rayudu's best innings! Because of the attack! Mumbai Indians had a good quality attack To play this kind of a knock against them is very very good effort! There is no doubt that he deserved the man of the match! So that partnership was the one that provided the body for Chennai Super Kings They almost drove the team to victory A few wickets fell after that But there are 2 things that worked well for Chennai Super Kings One was Faf du Plessis He stayed till the last, 20th over Even though his strike rate wasn't high, he stood there and took the responsibility of finishing the match for the team! That was one important factor And the other one is Sam Curran Don't forget those crucial knocks, the 4 and 6 that he hit at the end was so important You cannot see only the run quantity in T20 cricket The fact that he hit those 2 or 3 shots in the right moment is what makes it vital So all in all, Chennai Super Kings had a convincing victory It was a good start against Mumbai Indians When Chennai Super Kings was batting in a tricky situation, many questions arose At one point, they required 42 runs in 21 balls At that time, I, and also the fans expected Mahendra Singh Dhoni to come But who came in? Jadeja! I was wondering why he came in, and meanwhile he got out already! Rajasthan Royals will have to take the responsibilty without missing more key players Ruturaj Gaikwad can be made to play, as he is a good player and an exciting youngster Maybe Faf du Plessis can be made to open, with Ruturaj playing number 3 This is something to think about Another thing to think about is Lungi Ngidi We don't know if he will play or not as he was very expensive, even though he managed to take three wickets In that place if there was a different bowler, maybe Imran Tahir, as the wicket in Shah Jahan is a little slower It's possible that Imran Tahir might play So there are only 2 players in discussion when it comes to the Chennai Super Kings team The remaining 11 from the previous match would stay As Mahendra Singh Dhoni usually doesn't keep changing the playing 11 a lot But even then, I feel he would think about these two players What would be the playing 11 of CSK in Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals? This is Badri's playing 11 for you! Shane Watson Ruturaj Gaikwad Faf du Plessis Ambati Rayadu Kedar Jadhav Mahendra Singh Dhoni- Captain and wicket keeper! Ravindra Jadeja Sam Curran Deepak Chahar Lungi Ngidi This is my playing 11 for the Rajasthan Royal's match Playing 11 challenge with Badri, was a contest I made before the Chennai Super Kings match I had asked you to list your playing 11 Even I struggled a lot to form my 11! You guys also struggled a lot, but even then, 5 people from amongst you who would get closest to the original playing 11, will win a Cricket with Badri cap, with my autograph on it as a prize!

I waited to see who was next! It was Sam Curran! I had many questions about when Dhoni would turn up But Sam Curran played very well Played 2-3 nice shots that were vital It was a game-changing moment This is what you call captaincy! Many asked why Dhoni did not turn up But he had definitely thought this through I think sending the two left-handers in the middle was a big twist They call it a 'Twist in the tale' It was something like that Chennai Super Kings will face Rajasthan Royals in their second match This match will be played in the Sharjah Stadium When it comes to Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals, The match that strikes our mind is the 2008 IPL Final They won under the captaincy of Shane Warne The truth is that, they have not achieved anything big in the IPL after that... Right now, there is nothing interesting to talk about Rajasthan Royals But their strength are foreign players! They have solid foreign players like Steven Smith Jofra Archer David Miller They have such recognized strong players This is their strength area Robin Uthappa has moved from KKR to RR He too is a senior player with a lot of experience Other than him, other strong Indian players are Sanju Samson, a talented youngster He's been playing for a while now He too is there, as a recognized batsman

 Next is a very expensive player, Jaydev Unadkat He is a left armer. Remember he will play for Rajasthan Royals Two other Indian players are Shreyas Gopal, a leg spinner from Karnataka An exciting youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal, a left hander from Mumbai He proved his worth in the under 19 World Cup He is an exciting talent Let's see how he does in IPL 2020 Rajasthan Royals are facing multiple problems even before the tournament started Problems like the absence of Steven Smith in the first match against CSK The reason being, concussion! He already had a head injury during the Ashes Now, recently again injured it during the England series Concussion is huge problem for him Thus he might not be available for the first match Next is Jos Buttler, who defied the Bubble When he moved from bubble to bubble, he moved with his whole family Thus he will be missing the first match against Chennai Super Kings So, two key players will miss the match for RR This is huge blow, which is why Jofra Archer will have the added responsibility Another interesting thing! What will Chennai's eleven look like? There are two places to be discussed One being, will Murali Vijay play at the top or not? What are his options? Who are his replacements?
