IPL 2020, CSK vs SRH: Ranking the 5 best players from the game

#3 Bhuvneshwar Kumar (SRH)

Bhuvneshwar Kumar may have bowled only 3.1 overs, but those 19 balls were invaluable

Although Bhuvneshwar Kumar was forced off the field with a niggle just one ball into his final over (the penultimate over of the match), he was certainly one of the standout performers for SRH.

The Indian spearhead may have conceded 3 boundaries to Ravindra Jadeja in his third over, but he had already inflicted great damage upon CSK with his bowling in the powerplay. Troubling Watson with the in-swinger consistently, Bhuvneshwar eventually got the Aussie opener to chop on, and finished with figures of 1/4 in his first 2 overs.

The SRH fast bowler's fitness will be a major concern for the team in their upcoming IPL 2020 games.

#2 Rashid Khan (SRH)

The CSK batsmen didn't attempt to take the slightest risk off Rashid Khan's bowling, and understandably so. The Afghanistan captain conceded just 12 runs off his 4 overs, and was a menace with his nagging back-of-a-length deliveries and subtle variations.

Rashid held up one end admirably in the middle orders, tormenting Ravindra Jadeja, Kedar Jadhav and MS Dhoni. He gave away just one boundary in his spell (in the final over) and played a major role in taking the required run rate higher and higher.

#1 Priyam Garg (SRH)

After a couple of mediocre performances in IPL 2020, Priyam Garg finally announced his arrival on the big stage. India's captain from the 2020 U-19 World Cup came in at No. 5, and his time in the middle got off to a horrible start with the run out of Kane Williamson.

Garg showed great resolve to rid himself of the demons of the run out, and played a series of sumptuous strokes en route to his first IPL fifty. The 19-year-old was also electric in the field, and saved a number of boundaries with diving stops. Rightfully, he was adjudged the Man of the Match.

Garg's performance comes as a major boost for SRH, who have been crying out for a reliable middle-order batsman.
