IPL 2018: Rating the teams after their first two games

#2 Chennai Super Kings: 7.5/10

CSK would want their marquee players to bring their A game to the table as soon as possible

The Men in Yellow have come back to the IPL after a two-year hiatus, but it now seems like they never left. They have two victories in two games and have started right where they left off in 2015.

They have clinched both the games by putting in two impressive chasing efforts, both of which have come against sides with strong bowling attacks. Sending Ambati Rayudu to open the innings seems like a masterstroke from CSK, while bringing in the likes of Billings and Shane Watson has just added value to their team.

They pulled off a terrific win against KKR, where they chased a hefty total of 202 at home. Billings slammed the balls to all parts of the ground in his innings and turned the tie in favour of the Super Kings.

Going forward, there are certain things that need to be looked at by the CSK team management. Suresh Raina is yet to click with the bat and that is a worrisome sign for the Chennai-based franchise. They have retained a lot of their core this season and they would want their marquee players to bring their A game to the table as soon as possible.
