#2 Mitchell Santner out - Faf Du Plessis In

Mitchell Santner is a great utility player as he can make contributions with both bat and ball. The Kiwi all-rounder has one well for his country in all forms of cricket but he was poor against RR. Even though the batsmen were under pressure after losing early wickets, he failed to control the run flow.

The left-arm spinner even failed to complete his quota which raises concerns over his place in the team. It is not easy for overseas professionals to maintain their place in the team as a team is allowed to play only four foreigners.

CSK team management might decide to pick experienced Faf du Plessis instead of the all-rounder. The CSK batting line up was put under pressure against RR when they lost early wickets. MI has a good bowling line up and this is where experience and technique of Du Plessis can make the difference.
