IPL 2018 SRH vs CSK: 5 player battles to look out for

#4 Rashid Khan v MS Dhoni

Rashid Khan

Following MS Dhoni’s epic innings in the game against Kings XI Punjab, he came in at number 4 in the last game against Rajasthan Royals and while he did not score a lot of runs, it augurs well for CSK that they would have an excellent player of spin to counter the threat posed by Rashid Khan.

The Afghan leg-spinner, who has a T20 career economy rate of 5.88 was destroyed by Chris Gayle in the previous game and went for 55 runs in his 4 overs. Khan, who is regarded as one of the best spinners in the world would like to get back to his best today. However, in MS Dhoni he will come up against another player who is an excellent player of spin.

Dhoni will come in at number 4 and he will most probably have a duel with Rashid Khan straightaway. It promises to be an absorbing battle between the ageing master and the young spin king.
